Ensure you have a good key. I used the drill press to create the dimples. These will be filled with 420 and flox when doing the glass layups.

Port side peel ply removed. Oh notice the caps in the sockets. What I did was take a block of foam and push it down in the socket, then took it back out and covered it with car wax. Once all the ribs are in I'll see how it worked.

Dont judge me! You know you do it too. Anyways, was trying to see if my weight would cause the nose to come down. As you can see she likes being a tail dragger.

Started to make the axle jig. Used a simple setup of first taking large flat blocks of wood and caulking it to the floor somewhere over FS70. Then that allows me to fix the aluminum angle with a single screw once in its final position.

The monowheel landing gear is in the up position and resting on the main wheel with some of the weight held by the block and tackle. This was taken just before putting on the braces to keep her from rolling. Been trying to get rid of that tv in the back

Port side. Red highlighted area shows area with little reinforcement on inside. This is before I did the belly layup per the manual.

OK not the best shot but here you can see I used the jack to move the rear rib in place under the airframe being careful not to pinch the belly. I then secured the rib in place but using some drywall screws in the 2x6. This way any weight will be transf
