More of the same. I was going to cut the carpet and form it to the ribs and staple it in place but decided that was just a time vampire and pointless since the airframe is holding it in place.

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

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.
