Why not use a sling on the motor mount attachments at the fire wall. Use a
come-a-long from the hangar rafters or an engine hoist.

The way you described is the way I supported my fuselage to install the gear legs
in my quickbuild. The tail was installed, so I could not invert the fuselage.
I used the shipping supports installed in the spar center section attached
to an H frame that I made and made a support for the tail that adjusted for
height to level the whole thing. Drilling the holes for the gear legs and saddles
was not fun.--- On Wed 10/20, Doug Ripley dougr@hurricanefilter.com wrote:

Doug,
Good to hear that you succeeded in this approach. I am planning (carefully)
to support the right-side-up QB fuselage and install the gear legs from
below. I am glad to hear the you did it successfully. Any tips to offer
about aligning the gear legs with the centerline of the fuselage? I think
that it will be easier to get the gear lined up with this approach, than if
the fuselage is inverted and the gear is sticking up in the air.

Wow - I found that installing the gear legs with the fuselage
on its back was challenging enough - I can't imagine the pain
of doing it from underneath. My recommendation is to try to
flip the fuselage.
