Glad to be here, I will need the help.
wing kit 14073 has arrived and has been uncrated. Inventorying this week.
I had 3 people help move the crates off the truck. It was nice and uneventful with 4 people. Semi backed up about half way up the driveway.
cheers

The only thing the driver did was to move the crated to the end of the truck. I had enough help so the driver really did not need to do anything (so I don't know if he would have helped if I asked). The truck did have a lift gate, but we did not use it. The lift gate is not useful for the long box with wing spars. The kit was delivered in a semi, but they would have brought it in a 24 ft truck if I really wanted them to.
I think that I could have done it with two people as long as you have a dolly to roll the crates on. One crate was 180 lbs the other was 220 lbs. The one with the skins is pretty big and akward.
So I decided to jump all in.
Serial #74 will be delivered to my house on Monday!
I was curious, how much is your freight charge that you are paying the freight company. Mine is $477.69 which includes lift gate. I was surprise how high this is.
I'm happy to report wing kit 140078 has made it to ND this morning in good shape for $294 no lift gate.
Looks like a real nice kit, Joe
I ordered my tail kit on July 30th. Serial number 140091. Currently working on the airfoil practice project and getting my shop set up. I can't believe how much I have spent on tools to complete the practice project!
Are you doing the tail before the wings?
Yes I'm going to do the tail first. Hopefully by the time I'm finished with the tail, a quick build option will be available for the wings and fuselage, but if not, I'll go ahead and order the standard wing kit. I have learned a lot from you pioneer wing builders!
Congratulations and Welcome!I ordered the tail kit last week--140119!
