VAF Team,
I want to build a table to store my assembled Empennage on. At what height, ought I build the table so that when I complete the fuselage in a couple of years, and it is sitting on its landing gear, the empennage would approximately marry to the fuselage (height-wise)?
Basically, my goal is to store my assembled empennage on a table that has free castering wheels. My hope is to one day roll the empennage over to the assembled fuselage, and easily connect it, with minimal adjustment of table heights.
In other words I want to strategically build this moveable table!
Let me know if you're willing to help, would you?
Ideally my answer would come from someone who has a completed aircraft, and could easily just go out and measure the height from the ground to the forward point of the tail cone, where it merry's to the main fuselage.
Best Regards,
Andrew Boyd
