Partially constructed RV-6A loaded into rental truck for trip from San Antonio to Washington, D.C. Fuselage is bolted to wooden carriage (extending a bit beyond the area from front spar to rear spar) which is screwed to the truck floor. Wings are packed with blankets and styrofoam. Controls are packed in bubble wrap. Engine and all shop tools are in there somewhere.
Engine mounted. I used an inexpensive come-along tied to a beam in the ceiling.
Initial cowling fitting (many hours of trimming).
Air inlet strategically aligned so the center of the NACA scoop is at the same level as the joint between upper and lower cowl sections. The cowl hinge pin is inserted into the cowl from the REAR. The pin goes thru a hole in the NACA scoop, thru a guiding tube (prosealed in place between the NACA scoop and the firewall), thru a hole in the firewall, and into the cowl hinge pins. Pin is held aft by a bend in the pin which fits into a retainer prosealed into the NACA scoop. No way this pin is ever going to work forward into the prop! (Thanks to the Matronics RV archives which provided this idea. Van's RVator (2nd 1998 edition) published a photo of a very similar setup.
Finishing up the baffling. This took me 80 hours. I'm slow.
