People that visit the shop now say:
1) Hey how big are those tire gonna be?
2) Are ya goin to a monster truck rally?
3) You musta spend time at a boat yard.
4) How ya gonna get that thing outa here?
This is 33" off the ground at the belly...it is level fore and aft and side to side. Only took a few hours and all the wood around the property that I could find. Tried to move the engine crate from the storage container to the shop C but the fork lift got stuck in the gravel C we had to pull it out with the F250. Just another day C not much accomplished.
Just having a little fun
The last shot is a picture of my teeth after propping the plane up today C I was cleanching! Just a little nervous!

You guys are making me feel bad. I built a craddle to hold the fuselage and emppage, then to install the legs, I just rolled it outside and picked it up with a forklift.... done..

Hey John. You might want to look up the chapter on the gear fairings and wheel pants while the plane is on jacks and level. Might save you some time and angst getting them aligned now.

That is where i am going with it. Then wheels off and the gear remains for the engine and cowl. Engine is now next to the plane C lots of ply wood beneath the forklift so it could get down to the basement and back up the hill. Engine and plane appear to be getting along quite well.
Thanks C
