Brief Description:  completed fuselage rotisserrie

Completed the fuselage rotisserie, which is based of two Harbor Freight engine overhaul stands. A plywood bulkhead was bolted to the four engine mount weldments on the firewall, with that bulkhead in turn bolted to the engine stand rotor. On the tailcone rear bulkhead, a smaller plywood bulkehad was bolted to the eith vertical stab nutplates and an identical engine stand bolted to that bulkhead. This whole mess turned out a little less clean as I had expected, because hte engine stand rotor axis is about 15 degerees off of level. It is further complicated because the firewall and the rear tailcone bulkhead are not quite on parallel planes. The other shortcoming is that the engine stands are about one foot lower than ideal--the fuselage will spin, but, with in upside down, you have to kneel to stick your head in. I got the rotors close to level/plumb with 4x6 blocks placed under the forward legs of the engine stands.
