MOVING

 

In August of 2002, we acquired an FBO in Gallatin, Tennessee.  The airport identifier is M33.  There is an active chapter of the EAA there.  There are two more people in the chapter that are building RV 7's.  I decided to move the RV 7 there in hope that I would work on it. In September I loaded the paint booth along with other items  (work bench, sheet metal tool box, etc. onto a truck and took them to Tennessee.

Above left is a picture of the paint booth (among other things) in the moving truck.  Above right is the kit stored in Gallatin.  Notice the date.  The airplane has now been ignored for nearly 6 months (except for the empennage).
