Put in a 2x4 in the main wing spar tunnel and located the pins. This was only used to aid in keeping the plane from tipping.

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?

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

From the start the airframe was sitting 2.5 deg tail low and 0.1 deg to port. Not bad for just putting her on there. I jacked up the back of the trailer to get it as near to 0.0 as possible and also shifted the airframe latterly to turn that .1 to 0.0 a

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.

The gell coat really gums up the sand paper. Still a bit more to remove.

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.

Locating the center of the main gear hole. Used a pilot to be used to measure out the 10“ diameter on the bottom.

Nic pic of the plane! If Bill would move his head out of the way! Notice I'm using a bungee cord to hold the doors open.

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

Port side after layups and peel ply removed. Notice shape of hole for the angle of the LG socket. I wrapped the LG socket with sandpaper and used it to form the hole.
