What methods have been used to lift the fuselage and get it on its gear?
Jacks? straps? etc?

Oh, by the way, we put the gear on before joining the tailcone. With the
main gear on (just gearlegs, not wheels) and the engine mount on the floor,
it makes it VERY NICE to work on the brake and fuel systems as well as the
rudder pedals. It also makes it nice in joining the tailcone.

This sounds like a good way to join the half. I plan on doing it. As to
the question about putting the legs on I have found this hydraulic cart
from harbor freight a great tool in working on the fuselage. It cost a
couple hundred bucks but it has been very useful around the shop for
other things, like moving a heavy metal bending tool. It is easy to move
around and adjust to the right height and is narrow enough and makes a
pretty stable platform. I can see it would be better with the gear legs
on when crawling around in it to make it stable. Check it out on my site
it is about 16 pictures down the page at

Thanks for the replies. I expect to install the engine mount and use my
2 ton hydraulic crane to lift the front. will support the tailcone.
expect to put wheels brakes on the gear legs before installing the legs.

Looking for some help on this one.
If you look at page 9-6 step 6 (empennage plans), the plans call for
clecoing the tip rib assembly to the E-1022 shear clip and the e-1002 front
spar and e-1001B bottom skin. If I'm reading the plans correctly, E-913 is
supposed to go in between the skin E-1001B and the flange of E-1002. If
this is the case, E-913 will catch only one hole of the flange of E-1002.
To me, this will cause the skin to have an uneven appearance to it on the
bottom side and top side.
On step 8 it shows the top side where the skin E-1001A is laid on top of the
flange of E-1002 and on top of the counterbalance skin E-913. It's just not
flat going from the flange of E-1002 to E-913.
Anyone else have this observation or remember how they handled this?
I have taken several pictures of the area if I haven't asked the question
clearly enough.
Thanks Marc

Randy Debauw, Rob Hickman, Paul Grimstad, myself and many other RV
builders from three Oregon EAA Chapters had the pleasure of the annual
tour of the VANS Factory Thursday night. I was surprised no one has
posted the thrill on this list by now. QB Fuselage kit 398 was being
packed for shipment. Kits 400 through 408 are on racks in inventory and
ready for delivery. The factory has 90 empennage kits ready for
shipment. Dick was absent and touring the Alaskan Northwest Passage on
a cruise ship. (Well earned though).
The big excitement was Tom Green and Ken Krueger sharing the visuals of
the new RV-12 LSA. Tom Green was most gracious as the host and Ken was
quite informative. Two passenger, spar behind and above the buttocks of
the Pilot and Co-Pilot (it appears capable of two full frame bodies),
fuel behind the spar (inside the fuselage), detachable wings, large
forward hinging canopy, direct foot control of the centering nose wheel
and yes - all assembled with Pull Rivets. Both the mahogany "proof of
concept" mock up as well as the yet to be flown aluminum prototype were
shown. Rotax 912 powerplant. Sorry you all missed it.
Hope your wives and mothers are enjoying their day.
