Default My canoe is upright!!

Terry Wendling and Rob Johnson, both RV builders, came over this weekend to lend me a hand in flipping over the fuselage this weekend! What a great feeling it is to get to this point!!









Thanks guys!

Default Consider building a rotisserie

Consider building a rotisserie so you can roll the canoe on its side making it easier to install brakes and lots of other stuff. It beats leaning over the beast.

If you want pics of an easy to build unit email me at barry "at" arizonaairparks.com

If you're near Tucson, you can have mine.

Thanks everyone!

Barry,
I have a friend (who is on VAF, N713R, every once in a while) that has one. I've talked to him about it already, and I'm just gonna wait and see how things go with it as it sits. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yep! Added 'tipped'!

If, by chance, you are referencing the missing 'E6 Subaru' tag...that's a story for another thread...
