Brief Description:  Beginnings of the Fuselage Cradle

I came up with a cradle for the fuselage which will allow me to move it around the shop. The basic design is a derivation of the "ladder jig". I added taper towards the tail so I would not be stumbling over the cradle as I work on the narrower tail.


I got the basic framework together. I used screws to assemble the rails and rungs together. I added heavy duty locking casters to the bottom to give it some additional height and to allow me to readilly reposition the fuselage.
