Upper section shortly after it was installed.  We assembled the top half of the hinge section, a full section and the topper on the ground.  It was boosted up to the roof and one end placed on the work support (leg visible at left) and two of us maneuvered the end to the lower half of the hinge section.  Aligning and installing the bolts was a piece of pie.

However, getting the (very heavy) upper section of the tilt tail was not!  We placed it on top of the tower section and "slid" it out into position.  Bolts were added to secure it into place. 

The lower tail would require shortening by about 4' with some modifications prior to installation.
