>One consideration may be your method of supporting the canoe

Fred - thanks for your comments. I am (at present) using an old door 
on castors with wedges at the ends for support - see the pictures on 
my website at 
<http://home.clara.net/rowil/aviation/fuselage_dolly.html>. The 
fuselage floor is relatively flat where the seat-backs are, and it is 
in contact with the door almost all the way across at that fuselage 
station. This matches the pretty flat profile across the width of the 
cockpit module underside.

>I built one of Chuck Popenoe's knock down support frames

I did consider something similar but laziness won! It would be great 
if someone made a file of fuselage profile measurements for cutting 
support formers.

That all sounds good advice, thanks.
