Wow, that really amazes me.

Even on a relatively simple Spam Can, annualing an aircraft involves
removing (and saving) a zillion little screws and connecters. Even indoors
I inevitably kick over a container full of screws, or lose a couple -- I
just can't imagine fighting the wind and the elements at the same time.

September is a beautiful time to be outside - even if it's just working
on the airplane. otoh - now that my annuals are inside a heated hangar
(feb/mar) I can fly on those beautiful fall days. Maybe I'm sick, but working
on the plane is almost as much fun as flying it.


Where did you put all the stuff you removed?

In my SUV or in the IA's pickup. At the end of the day, large items are
put back on the airplane.
