Question for anyone to answer: What is your best guess of the fuselage
weight with the cabin top and tail cone on but no interior or avionics? No
gear or engine mount either ( no finish kit yet ). Moving to the hangar
this weekend an trying to recruit enough help to load this bad boy. Best
guess is two guys each side and one on the tail would do it but the more the
merrier. Using a flat trailer. Suggestions?........john

I did it with 4 people. Back, front, side, side. And a fifth to move the
platform I used to build it on.

I just moved mine about a month ago. I had made a set of wheels and bolted them to the wing spars. My 16 year old sons and I rolled it onto a 18 foot trailer with 4 foot ramps. I don't have scales but I can pick up the front by myself. The CG in this configuration is somewhere around the front part of the rear seats.

I unloaded it from the trailer by myself at the airport. The wheels were great.

Picture is attached.

These are coming off in the next week or so for the real legs!

Jim,

Thank you for an elegant solution. I was just thinking last night, how
am I going to move this thing around after the tail cone is attached?
What timing:)
Thanks again,

Vern Smith (#324 ready to attach tail cone)

John,

Attached is a set of instructions.

Someone else may want to build a set.

How about we do this.

You pay the shipping and you can "Use" these. When finished they have to be provided to another -10 builder (Who also pays to have them shipped).

I will have to figure out how to box them up.

Provide me a "ship to" address (Off List!).
