I took a hint from EAA’s Charlie Becker, and put flip up/down casters on each such that the benches are easily rolled around on the concrete garage floor, either when separated, or bolted together.
Just a few more items to procure, and a few more tasks to perform, and I can finally…

Last weekend, on September 7 and 8, the nationwide meeting of UL 2024 pilots took place at the Łomża Jeziorko landing site in Poland. After the conference part, in the afternoon, it was time for practical flying activities. A gate was prepared at the landing site and anyone willing could demonstrate their piloting skills. The pilot's task was to fly through the gate marked out by foil tapes raised on poles and not to break any of the tapes when flying between and below the tapes.
