Full rack

This evening I finished the rack to support the fuselage. It allows the fuselage to rotate along its axis in order to provide better access to areas underneath. I made a triangle shaped frame in order to reach three engine mount bushings and let the fourth one free of any wood structure:


Different holes can be used with the dowels allowing to lock the position at 45° steps. The triangle frame can also be flipped over to let access to the RHS if required. I set the height so that I can easily remove the gear, however the price to pay is that the vertical fin doesn't clear the ground so I will warn my welder not to turn it past 135°!

Next target: gear removal and resume the grinding!
