How many people to unload wing kit (SB)
So Conway called to tell me my wings will be delivered this thursday (best valentine's day present ever). How many friends will I need to recruit to help unload the two crates and move into my garage?

I did it with one other person. I you have a moving dolly you could do it yourself.

2 determined guys can make it happen. When my wing kit showed up I was by myself and the truck couldn't get closer than about 40 yards from my shop (bad location for a big truck in a residential area). The driver asked me where it was supposed to go and I told him around the corner and into the garage. He kinda looked at me with a smirk for a second, like he wanted to watch this happen. It was about 95 degrees outside and 3pm - I told him "20 bucks and a cold beer to help me carry it around there". He didn't say a word, just grabbed a pair of gloves.
I gave him 2 beers...

I did it with the driver and myself. Was not bad.

My Conway driver had a lift gate and a pallet jack, no problem with the fuse and finish kit, he just rolled it right down the driveway and into the garage. And I did not request a lift gate.

I unloaded all the RV-10 kits with just the help of the driver and some dollies.

I've moved all my kits through finishing by myself. I picked up my kits at the distribution center (loaed into my truck with a forklift). Took them home and unloaded myself. I just used my ATV ramp to slide the crates out of my pickup and then dragged them into the garage. Not really a big deal. Now a QB would be different story.

I did that with my finish kit - forklifted into the bed of my truck, drove home, opened the crate and unpacked it right out of the truckbed.
