The time has come to relocate the plane to the airport where I will be doing the final assembly, and test flying.
Here are a few shots of the process of getting it on the trailer.
"Lets go for a little walk"
Aiming for the center of the ramps.
My buddy Steve Barnard is guiding the plane, I am working the remote for the winch, and watching the overall progress.
Almost there........
In place, the black bar behind the main wheel is a removable safety stop, keeps the plane from rolling off until the hold down straps are on. Also, there is a light bar on the tail.
O.K., time for a break. The winch is clearly visible on the trailer tongue to my right, and the light bar can be seen too.
More to come.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
