I'm due to receive RV-10 quick build fuselage & wings in about 7-8 days. It's coming by Partain Trading Co. contracted to Stewart Transport. Truck will be a full size semi truck/trailer with a crane mounted in roof of trailer.
Fuselage & wings are not crated.
Need some insight into this method of delivery. Driver will assist but that probably means he operates the crane only. Is that correct?
If driver operates crane will two people be enough to maneuver these items?
I'm thinking I need to premake wing slings/racks and fuselage racks (with wheels) to go straight from truck (crane) to racks and then wheel into hanger.
Van's is closed at the moment so I can't ask them but are there some designs (pictures or drawings) of the wing slings/racks and fuselage racks I can use?
Would appreciate any insight from those that have traveled this path before me.
Thanks,
Jerry
