Few things in an RV builders life are more exciting than receiving the fuselage kit. The dimensions of the crate are mind-boggling and the weight of 280kg rob the illusion of carrying it around. I fetched it at Zurich Airport on a trailer with the help of Max.

 

Max and I fetched the fuselage crate at Zurich Airport. The trailer seems to have been built for this occation.
First attempt to open this tiny little box...
..which succedes.
50% of the volume is paper.
The most expensive part, the most bulky part: the fuselage top.
The crate is even bigger when it is empty.
This is only one third of the paper.
The children will probably fit.
Suddenly there was a unbelievable mess in the workshop. It took about 15 hours to clean up.
From the material of the crate I built this shelf to put all parts.
