Hello, new to VansAirforce but I've been reading it for a long time.
I'm intending to purchase a mid-90's RV-6 about 70-80% completed (wings stabbed in but not plumbed/wired/rigged, engine on airframe, on gear) but it is 1400 miles from home. I'm told the gear outside to outside is 90" and the tail is 111" wide. Question:
1) How do I take the wings off and rig them for transport?
2) How do you get the tail off?
3) Can you easily separate (and rejoin) the vertical and horizontal stabilizers? How?
4) How would you rig wings, fuselage, and tail in a 26' U-Haul?
5) What if I were in a pickup with a large flatbed instead?
I'm already two over for questions, I appreciate any help?
Thanks,
Mark Cantrell
