Well I have started painting and have picked the  worse part to start with. The cowl haves. Its like holding on to a wet noodle  trying to sand it by its self. Has anyone got any good designs for stands or  things to hold different parts for sanding and painting? Pictures would be  great. I have made a rotisserie for the fuse that should work good. Holding the  rudder, elevators, etc. are the main problems. I don't want to paint them  mounted on the plane for you cant get in all the areas properly. Any suggestions  appreciated.  Tex

Tex,

     Hopefully someone will have some suggestions as to  making stands for sanding and painting, but I do have one suggestion for  painting.  When painting any control surface, it is always best to have it  hanging up or mounted on a stand so that the leading edge is  down.  That way as the paint flows out it runs towards the  leading edge and therefore the extra weight of the paint on the control surface  tends to go forward and thus help static balance and this  will help prevent possible flutter.
