Fuselage July 2005 Updates July 12, 2005 Wings are here..... - 2.0 hrs When I got home from work today I got the call from Rebecca with Partain Transportation that they were just leaving Dallas for Htown with my wings and they would be here by 10pm. They showed up around 10:15. The trailer was to long to get down my street so my nephew Jordan was there to help so he backed his truck up to the back of the big truck to unolad the 2 crates. We took the smaller crate first and put it in the driveway out of the way. Then we saw that the wing crate was too heavy for us to lift it out so we just took the lid off and lifted the wings out. Phil's craddle worked perfect. We just slide each wing in place and it worked great. Tonight Kim is coming over to inventory the small crate. I assume it is the misc parts like fuel sending units and flaps and alerons. I will take some more pictures of everything tonight to show the quality. They look awesome. Just think.... the tanks are even done. I can't wait! I think I am getting sick.... I may have to go home early :).....
