I'm in the midst of working with an architect to rebuild my house -- and the plans include a workshop in the basement for continuing work on my RV10. (I'm still on the tail kit...)
I want to make sure that it is possible to get the plane out of the workshop once complete -- which means we are designing a hatch from the basement up to the first floor, hopefully large enough to get everything I build back out again. I'm currently playing with 3D models to see what might work.
Which leads me to a question -- what is the biggest piece? Since I only have the tailkit, I don't have the complete plans available to me to figure out which pieces are easy to assemble at the airport vs. I want to spend a lot of time on them in my basement first.
I'm assuming the biggest and hardest to maneuver piece is the fuselage. Assuming this is true, is it reasonable for me to get everything set up in my basement, then detach:
Thank you!

- the engine
- the horizontal/vertical stabilizers
- the fiberglass on top
- the landing gear
