+1 on those dollies! The tire jacks from the OP do not work, don't waste your money on them. Remember these planes are not heavy. They can easily be lifted to place on "regular" dollies during construction.

Here's the harbour freight dollies. http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb...lly-61899.html 1000 Lb capacity. You can't build em cheaper.

Mine are 20 years old and they don't look like that anymore. I upgraded the casters on one of mine so I could moved around a 302 Ford engine.

I like how the front tires fit them perfectly. I may have to pick up two more.

Do you simply lift one wing at a time to slide them in?

Lifting a wing would work but my wings have to be folded to get into my shop.

Here's photos of the process in Post #17.

I would say you got nearly all you need. Just start in on the build and see how it goes. If you really need something else it will become obvious. I did my whole build with only 2 sawhorses and one set of wing rotisseries and one small work bench with a vise. Borrowed a friend's band saw the couple of times I needed it. You will need lots of spring clamps and soft jaw bar clamps, but wait till you need them to get the right sizes. A couple of good C-clamps come in handy for pressing in bearings. The Dremel will be used a LOT. You will need a variety of hand files, even a small jewlers file.

I would add two things to your list, time and more money. Get ready you will find you need a lot more of both.

You are more than set up enough to get started...you will get a good feel for what you are missing which I will say is not much. The band saw you will use so little that you can borrow a chums twice in the whole build. Obviously a a ratchet set too which I am sure you have.

24' X 32 is lots of room and more than I have by a long shot. You hardly need your wings on the fuse but it is nice to not have to suck in your gut to walk around everywhere.
