Here is my setup, but not pleased the track rod is a bit small and bends making the moving part a bit touchy, so I'm off to see if I can get a bigger setup, dam I miss those foamies LOL

I'm thinking of a cradle like support, mounted to the end of my table, that I can rest the prop and spinner in.....which would allow me to grab the tailwheel and roll the fuse over, then slide a support box under the structure (canopy removed, of course).

I built this rotating spit for the Krill fuse.....but it only works with the engine and rudder removed.
