Sep 20, 2007     Fuselage stand; work floors, ELT mount, A/P mount - (2.1 hours)       Category: Fuselage
With the help of my buddy Joe, I got the fuselage detached from the rotisserie and lowered onto my floor-level work stand. It works like a charm -- it's very stable, and easy to get in and out of. The only thing I still need to do is to attach the tailwheel spring. Right now, the aft fuselage is resting on a heavily-padded sawhorse. I think this would actually be OK, but I'll feel better when there's no weight on the fuselage skin.

I climbed into the fuselage for the first time, and took measurements of the "bay" behind the baggage compartment. Tomorrow, I'll buy and cut a piece of 3/4" oak or birch for a work-floorboard.

I also began laying out the raw materials I'll use to build the ELT mount and the strobe power supply.

Finally, I spent some time cleaning up the edges of the autopilot pitch servo mount.
