This first section is the January 17, 2008 trailering and assembly of a brand new aircraft to the Xcel convention center in Saint Paul MN for the Pheasants Forever trade show.  It was zero degrees outside, and a balmy 68 inside.  It took us about 3 hours to maneuver the truck, trailer, and aircraft to set it up inside. 

Keith pumping the trailer hitch high so we don't bang the tail on the floor on the way back off the trailer.

Initial assembly, removing the foam packing from inside the fueselage. It broke off...and had to be dug out.

Jenny is inside the fueselage trying to pick out the stuck foam core in the back. The entire tail section of the CT is hollow and able to store bags.

Surprisingly roomy inside. The view from the inside of the CT fuselage.

Laying out the parts.

The wings will go here.

Holding the wing on my head while the others take a break. Hey guys, put the dang bolts in already.

Ready to fly, just add gas. We are underground two stories, getting ready for the Pheasants Forever trade show.

Just like the airlines...we have our Red Tail as well.
