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?

OK now that the plane is off the trailer and on its own wheel we were able to remove most of the trailer hardware and position the ribs. We also used the main bolts to hold the first rib in place. The other rib was left a little lower to be located once

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

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.

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

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.
