Clean up is going to occur in several stages. The first of which is to wash the entire wing. It is dusty, and in need of a thorough cleansing. I am just not going to feel right until the entire wing is clean.
However, the A-10 on it's trailer is very high off of the ground. Not really practical for washing, and polishing, etc.
The good news is that the A-10 came with a lot of cool things, one of these being a nice 3 wheel dolly to move the aircraft around off of its trailer.
Here comes problem #1. I can not currently get the aircraft on and off the trailer by myself. The trailer is designed well, and has ramps for easy on and off loading. However, there used to be a winch on the trailer, but it is no longer there.
So to be self-sufficient I am going to have to install either a winch or some sort of
mechanical advantage.
Shopping online I have found a inexpensive winch ($25) at Harbor Freight which should do the job fine. So....off to buy and install the winch.
