Seeing how ribs 2,3,4 line up. Get a belt sander 4x36, you'll be glad you did. Mine is from Harbor Freight.

Locating the center of the main gear hole. Used a pilot to be used to measure out the 10“ diameter on the bottom.

OK not the best shot but here you can see I used the jack to move the rear rib in place under the airframe being careful not to pinch the belly. I then secured the rib in place but using some drywall screws in the 2x6. This way any weight will be transf

Port side. Same area as before just without the flash. Backlit from the inside to show areas with less material. This is before I did the belly layup per the manual.

Port side peel ply removed. Oh notice the caps in the sockets. What I did was take a block of foam and push it down in the socket, then took it back out and covered it with car wax. Once all the ribs are in I'll see how it worked.

The monowheel landing gear is in the up position and resting on the main wheel with some of the weight held by the block and tackle. This was taken just before putting on the braces to keep her from rolling. Been trying to get rid of that tv in the back

We had to put the plane somewhat down near the trailer with the main up so that we could get the right contour for the ribs. Reminds me of a B-17 with the main just showing.
