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.

Port side. Same area as before just without the flash. Backlit from the inside to show areas with less material. This is before I did the belly layup per the manual.

Making a template for rib 2. Do yourself a favor and do not use the templates in the manual you will end up waisting your plywood, just make your own.

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

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.

I was really anal about keeping the socket holes tight. This proved to be more work than it was worth and was fighting the tight fit when it came to locating the axles. Do yourself a favor and just make them a little bigger, 1/8 or so. This gap will be

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
