Rib one after cure of 420 and peel ply removed. Think we used 112g of 420 here due to the odd angle.

To make our backs happy and life 1000% easier we tilted the fuselage. Notice I used my monowheel trailer as a jig. A tow strap 4" wide was used in the rear to hold the tail. This was rock solid.

Here is a shot of the working angle. This was so much better than leaning over the edge. Kim's idea. Notice the heater behind Kim, this was key to keeping the temps even though the temps outside were in the 40's.
