Default Fuselage Cradle

I'm not sure if there is any interest in threads like this one . But FWIW I post this. Today was a nice spring like day in East Texas. The morning temperature was cooler than the hotter temperatures we have been having. There was a nice breeze blowing thru the shop. It had to be a shop day to enjoy the breeze and temperature.


I've been building airplanes and using cardboard boxes for a fuselage cradle, not good so something more permanent was in order. So today I built one. It is adjustable so I can use with various length airframes. I also made it tall so I can work on a plane with the landing gear on. My next plane may have a longer fuselage than the one pictured. So it will come in handy.

I already have one coat of spar urethane,not pictured, on it. One more coat tomorrow and it will be done.
