I expect delivery of my QB fuselage and wings within a couple of weeks. I have constructed a wing cradle but need some advice on the fuselage. I believe I may have seen a comment somewhere about constructing some short saw horses to set the fuselage on. I assume this would put it at a comfortable height for work. I have also looked at the rotating stands for sale by a gentleman on another forum, but it looks like it might not work until the tailcone and the fuselage are mated.
I would appreciate any information.

Dave, here's a link to some pic's of my fuse 'stand' it's constructed
from 2 wodd saw horses and 2 8' 2x4's the original idea belongs to Rick
Sked. They's been very useful. If I had it to do over I would:
1 lower them a couple of more inches (I'm 5'6" and its a bit of a reach
for some of the tasks).
2. put bigger wheels on 9these get stuck between the lines in the garage
floor.

Try these wheels for your fuse cart. Get them at wood working stores, such
as Rockler.

Oooo, Rockler. Love the place even though it is waaaay overpriced on most things. Save yourself some $$ and get your wheels from Harbor Freight or Northern Tool. Worse case Lowe's-Depot.

Actually, you're right. I saw the same wheels at HD, but forgot. Didn't know HF had them. Nice catch.

For the QB you may find this is lots easier than you anticipate. The QB comes with a wooden spacer for the spar that already has bolt holes in it. I just cut a couple of 2 x 4 legs with 2 inch casters and use a padded saw horse at the tail. Works great for scooting it around the shop area.
