Mornin' all.
While working on Philip's -7A yesterday, leaning over the sides of the fuselage doing brake lines, a thought occurred to me. A friend of mine drilled the rear spars of a quickbuild, while the fuselage sat on a platform about a foot high. The wings were done and since the platform is very stable, it's easy to level the fuselage with wooden shims and a sawhorse under the rear bulkead of the fuselage.
Slide the wings in, check for sweep, set the incidence and drill. No chance of the fuselage falling off jacks or concrete blocks or whatever.
Have any of you guys done this? Results?
Regards,
