This was the state of the project when I first viewed it. I had some trouble in finding a van that was big enough to fit all the parts in. I eventually found one that had all of 5cm to spare, once I had squeezed the wings in. As the fuselage cone was already partly built, I needed somewhere to store it , so that it didn't take up the work space in my garage. I settled on high level shelving, to hold the cone above head height, and not interfere whilst I was working on the moveable tables I used for building. Fortunately, the wings came with a moveable cradle that held them sideways on, and I was able to position this to one side of my garage. At a later date, once more of the fuselage had been assembled, the wings began to interfere with my free access all around the fuslage, so I trundeled the cradle a few streets away to where my daughter lived, and stored them for approx 12 months in her garage.
