The fuselage was very heavy with the byrodrive unit in it and was very hard to manage. So a stand had to be built and the engine removed. This took a few hours but was well worth it. I made the stand out of some old heavy walled PVC pipe that I had from a stand that came with my Great Planes Seawind and some blue foam from Lowe's hardware store. I am going to pad the inside of the cutouts for the fuselage before I paint it and it seems to be tough enough to use for transportation, assembly and mechanics in the shop and at the feild.
