Shall I build a fuselage rotisserie or not?
In a word - yes.
Use your imagination to build it (should be fairly simple). I didn't
build one, but should have. I kept the fuselage low to the ground on spar
inserts with wheels for as long as possible. Something to rotate the fuselage
would have been helpful - consider putting it on locking wheels.
There may be one for sale "out there" that would save you time, money and
effort.
As far as the builders manual goes - I've always told potential quick
builders to not depend on it. It basically says "build wing, attach wing."
Just flew my 8A from Daytona Beach to VT and back. I took a cruise
through the Hudson VFR corridor on the way up and flew over JFK at 10.5 on the
way back.

I'm building a rotisserie for my 8 QB fuselage. Not finished yet, but
will provide photos to anyone interested when I'm done. It's mostly
scrap plywood. The spindles will be pipes, and I'll set each end into
brackets bolted or clamped to short step ladders. Won't be mobile, but
I have a wheeled dolly for that purpose. My only question is where to
mount the spindles on the vertical centerline. Would like to be close
to the mass cg not including the gear. Once the fuselage is inverted,
I'll stabilize it with supports under the longerons, so gear weight
won't matter.

Is there any one that needs a wing rack. This is a rack just to hold the wings
after they are built, if so I have a set not being used any more. not the rotisserie
but still useful.
