For the last few years we’ve been storing the wings and tail at the Hanscom Aero Club hangar, as we had intended to do final assembly and first flight there. \u00a0But after some discussions with local DARs and consideration of other first-flight airports in the local area, we decided that Hanscom just isn’t the best place for us to finish the RV.<\/p>\n

So last Sunday we rented a U-Haul truck to move our parts back home. \u00a0My good friend Burt flew down to meet us at Hanscom and help us load and unload. \u00a0Loading was easy, but the ride back was a little bumpy – one of the supports on the wing cradle splintered and we wound up supporting one end of the wings while bracing ourselves in the front corners of the truck. \u00a0And yes, I know it’s illegal to ride in the back of a U-Haul truck…don’t tell anybody we did it.<\/p>\n

\"Moving\"<\/a>Et voila, we have all our airplane parts in the den, with some space left over for the soon-to-arrive finish kit.<\/p>\n
