I'm constructing a vey simple fuselage dolly from odds and ends.

To stop the fuselage lower moulding sliding around on the dolly when
I move it, I'm thinking of putting a couple of screws through the
bottom of the moulding into the dolly, in the area that is going to
be cut out for the (mono) wheel. Not to clamp it down tight, just to
provide some lateral location.

Anyone see any reason not to to make a couple of holes in what will
eventually become waste?

regards

Rowland

If youy are going to cut it out later how could it hurt anything?
Looks as if you can do it!

Even if you need to put a screw with some wood or epoxy to shim or add stiffness. Grind it out when your done. I love fiberglass, just cut and glue.
