Plane Is On Its Gear

Jenn helped me suspend the canopy from the rafters so that it's out of the way and isn't likely to get bumped.  I used two straps at each end and ran the ropes through some scrap boards so that the ropes wouldn't try to squeeze the canopy sides inward.



I slipped the tailwheel into the mount and wheeled the plane out into the sun for the first time.



With the plane on the lawn, I spent quite a while cleaning out the garage.  I needed to change the layout so that I'll have room to install the engine and still close the garage door.  I moved the benches along side the fuselage and cleared a spot along the back wall next to my tool box so that the tailwheel can tuck right up against the wall.  Here is everything back in place.
