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

Here the axles are getting the green goop. I used car carnauba wax as a release agent. Worked well jut get it on there thick. We also wrapped the top of the sockets with glad wrap to keep contaminates off of it while we moved it around.

We had to put the plane somewhat down near the trailer with the main up so that we could get the right contour for the ribs. Reminds me of a B-17 with the main just showing.

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.
