Hi
I have my -10 project on a dolly and am planning to get it up on its wheels in
the next couple of weeks.
I have the tail cone (but not the feathers) attached and am wondering how tippy
it will be if there is no engine attached.
Any comments? If I need to add ballast to the nose till I get an engine, is there
any preferred way to do this?
Cheers

It=99s not tippy side to side at all. You need to prop the tail up unt
il you get the engine on. You would need several hundred pounds on the nose t
o hold the tail up in a stable way. I would just put a stand on the tail lik
e in he attached picture.

Hey Les,
I needed to maneuver the plane w/out wings or tail feathers in and out of
the shop during painting and w/out the engine. So I lashed two 5 gal. jugs
of water onto the engine mount to counter the tail. It was just enough so
that I could push down on the tail to raise the front wheel ... easily
steered it from the tail. Used a small prop under the tail tie down so
that I could temporarily install the vert and rudder to tape off stripes
matching the fuse.
Later, - Lew
