Tonight, I started to rivet the tail cone to the fuse, but before I got too far, I decided that the process would be easier if the fuse were supporting itself… instead of sitting balanced on top of some work benches.
The fuselage stand is simple two 2×6’s bolted to the front and back of each spar passthru stub. I then put a little cross piece on the bottom, and added a caster. The tail is held up by a milk crate on a rolling chair. I’ll need to upgrade that sometime soon!
