QB Kit Arrival!

23 Apr 2006: 2 of us, 2 hours each.



We got a surprise phone call from Partain's that they were only a few hours away, and would be delivering the kit today! We had planned to finish the wing cradle, but instead spent today unloading and unpacking. It was really easy: the wings were strapped to the sides of the trailer, and the fuselage was in a roller cart that we could roll right into the garage. It only took two of us to lift it off the cart, with a third steadying the tail. The wings could easily be carried off the truck by two, each holding one end of the main spar. Too bad we didn't get that cradle finished in time!

The stuff wrapped in blue film is the ailerons and flaps.
