In the attached photo you'll see the fuse sitting on the dolly.

On the RV10 a small mod is required to the jack because the front bottom brake attach bolt sticks out & the jack will contact that before the axle, would probably be OK but I prefer to take the weight on the axle. A rag or piece of rubber between the axle & jack prevents any marks,damage etc to the axle. If you think you need to fly with a jack in baggage this one is light safe & does not contain any oil that could leak. Cheers Greg.

I adapted some tires during construction to allow me to roll the fuselage around. Pictures are attached. Fuselage remained low to make it easy to work on and It was easily moved around. Jim Combs N312F I gave these to someone on the list to use and forward to another builder when then finished.

The larger ones, with big runners, make perfect platforms for building the fuse. I put a set of wheels on one and it was quite handy. When it came time to lift the plane up to put it on the gear, or to lift it off the ground (once on the gear) to fit the wheel pants, I just slid a scissor jack under the pallet and up she went: Jeff Carpenter 40304 On Jul 2, 2012, at 8:38 AM, Carlos Trigo wrote: > Thanks Jim > > Also a smart idea > > BR > Carlos > > From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com > ] On Behalf Of Jim Combs > Sent: segunda-feira, 2 de Julho de 2012 15:10 > To: rv10-list@matronics.com > Subject: Re: RV10-List: FW: Building order > > With regards to making a dolly to move the fuselage around.
