I flipped my airplane! Ok not what you might think. Like some others I have used an engine stand to make a rotisserie to enable me to roll the fuselage while working. When I need to work on the bottom of the interior I can roll the plane 90 degrees and then sit on stool working at the area sideways. The stand has holes every 45 degrees so this will make it very versatile.
The stand I bought from Harbor Freight has the upright canted back at an angle and I really need it vertical but to accommodate I placed a movers dolly to prop up the stand where needed. It does allow the thing to move around a bit; I will have to find some kind of fix for this.
After getting the fuselage on the mount, which took some engineering since I was dong this alone, I flipped it on its back and used acetone to wipe all of the oil that gets sprayed on the outside for shipping/storage corrosion control by the factory. While it was upside down a used an air hose to spray the inside and get all of the dust and Styrofoam bits left inside from shipping. Well now I have no more excuses time to get to work on the fuselage.
