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.

Rib one after cure of 420 and peel ply removed. Think we used 112g of 420 here due to the odd angle.

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.

To make our backs happy and life 1000% easier we tilted the fuselage. Notice I used my monowheel trailer as a jig. A tow strap 4" wide was used in the rear to hold the tail. This was rock solid.

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.

Cutting out one of the ribs for the airframe. Going to use the mono trailer as the foundation of the jig. This will make is easy to level the airframe when getting ready for the trr-gear conversion. How do you like my work bench?

When I received the plane it had a few areas of this green tape. I guess it was going to be used as a release agent for some sort of jig fabrication. I have found that this 3M stuff works very well.

Gear legs clamped in place, no toe in/out per Bud. You cant see it in the photo but I used a green tip .30 bullet as a homemade plum bob that was attached to dead center of the aluminum angle. This helped us keep the guide over the center line. Oh make

[quote="Bud Yerly"]"Make a glass cover that fits the hole out of three sheets of bid laid up on a flat surface. After cure, hold it up to the bottom of the plane and mark the contour. Cut and approximate the fit. It should be near level

These will have to go. They are on top and I will remove them and put one vent on the bottom.
