Hi Group
We are going to bring our XS Mono Fuse over to my home this week.
We will set up at the base of my driveway and put on a custom Dolly. The base of my driveway is relatively level.
Then we need to get it up the driveway: without wings or stabs. The drive is about a 7.5-to-8-degree angle.
Questions:
** Can 2 guys push a Europa fuse up such a slope? 914 is installed.
** Can you push backwards on the stab spar, 1 guy on each side?
Thx.
Ron P.

That’s a pretty steep grade. Might be safer to use the winch that is on the trailer. I wouldn’t recommend pushing on the stab spar.

Hi Group
We had a winch on hand but wasn't necessary to get fuse into garage.
Two guys with some huffing and puffing could have done it, one pulling on tailwheel spring with a rope and one pushing on door frame, but if it got away from us it could be ugly fast.
We had a third guy and push was a non-issue.
If I ever have to do it with just 2 guys, will use winch.
