Huge Milestone
Awesome!! That's a big milestone!! Thanks for sharing the pics. The tail looks close to the ground during the loading and unloading.

Good job! I'm sure you are relieved to get to this point.
Love the trailer - where did you find it?
I'm looking for one to line up for my upcoming move and can't find anyone who will rent one, and three different towing companies have declined to move my fuselage.
At some point, I may end up just taxiing the thing there...

A dozen years ago there was a commercial rental place in San Leandro that had two tilt-bed trucks, only one of which was wide enough for a -10. I think they’ve changed names/owners, but may still have what you need. Clearly the lowest cost way to go.
Both the 30' enclosed trailer that I used to move the wings and tail sections, and the flat-bed I used to move the fuselage belong to Fulltron Aircraft Painting at Springfield Downtown Airport (3DW) where my new hangar is. Marlin let me use his trailers to move my RV-10 since Marlin's aircraft paint shop is going to be painting my RV-10 as soon as it's ready. You might give Marlin a call at 417-988-7866 if you are in this part of the country. The distance between the main wheels on my RV-10 were about 2" to wide to fit thru the door of the Marlin's 30' enclosed trailer, so we had to use his flat-bed trailer for the fuselage.

Congratulations. I’m looking forward to that day. Albeit it is in the distant future…. One rivet at a time, I’ll get there.

Great Progress!!
Thanks for posting the pics!! Roughly how long did it take to put the wings onto the fuse?
I'm working on my horizontal tail..... These pics are motivation!
