Default Precision Taxiing...out of the Basement....tight fit

My basement gave birth to RV10 last night, very precision taxing through the basement doors..... was starting to wonder if I needed to remove the GPS antennae on top.

With the patience of my wife at 8:30 at night in 45F weather, about 1.5 hours to taxi out the door. Jack it up, drop the gear ...taxi forward 34" jack it up again, install the gear and my smoothest landing ever coming off bottle jacks...

EDIT: I am seeing the photos in the Original Post now.

Earlier I was not able to see the photos, but obviously others are. All I see is 3 Gray circles with a White bar in them.

Anybody know what's going on here?

Thanks,

Do these images work for everyone?







If they work apparently removing the "-no" from the google url fixes them.

yep. those work.
you didn't even have to pop the doors off the hinges! Nice planning, and no saw notches for the spar stubs.

Yep, the second set of photos worked for me. Tried 3 different browsers on the first set, no joy. (Chrome, Edge, and Firefox)

Strange

Nice,
In your first photo what are the grey plates that are riveted and bolted to the deck plate and the longerons?
