Fuselage stand

Having completed the fuselage to about when the fuselage top goes on there
hasn't yet been any need for up-side-down or on-the-side work. What has
been very useful is access from underneath (glueing in cockpit module for
e.g). To allow this I built the simlpest possible cradle. Four 4 foot post
legs connected by four +/-  5 foot planks. The fuselage rests on two of the
planks with scrap foam spreading the load. Easily moved by two people or
dragged by one. By spacing the planks right it also made a great holder for
the cockpit module which does need to be turned every which way.
