Hi List,
Just thought I'd add my favorite method of leveling the fuselage, especially
over long distances. I use a piece of 1/4" clear plastic tubing about 20
feet long. I just happened to have some left over from a visit to the
hospital a few years ago. You know, that stuff they use to pump oxygen into
your nose. I filled the tubing with model airplane fuel since it won't
freeze, it's also pink so it's easy to see. I suppose anti-freeze would
work as well. I clamp one end to the aft end of the fuselage side
skin...then I can walk the other end to any point on the upper longerons to
check for level. Simple, accurate and cheap.
(Unless you live south of the equator, them all of the fluid would leak
out.)

Herb,
Thanks for the leveling insight.
I used your method of Arbor Press riveting this year and it worked out great.
