Nic pic of the plane! If Bill would move his head out of the way! Notice I'm using a bungee cord to hold the doors open.

Though this was a neat pic of the mono wheel in the retracted position.

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.

OK now that the plane is off the trailer and on its own wheel we were able to remove most of the trailer hardware and position the ribs. We also used the main bolts to hold the first rib in place. The other rib was left a little lower to be located once

Here is Bill placing in some 2x6's to act as a support for the rear rib. The I-beam is 3 inches wide so the 2x6 fit perfectly. I'll explain later how those come into play.

The mono wheel has been removed. Sad to see never used parts coming off the plane.

I used some thick good quality carpet to pad the ribs.
