Whd,
The key to success in building an RV (or any large project) is to do a
little bit each and every day. Do whatever you think will encourage you to
do so.
I think a rolling platform may have some advantages, if you can keep it
stable when it isn't rolling. Can't comment on the ability to turn the
fuselage upside down or whatever. I didn't use one and never thought I
needed one. A friend used one and loved it. One item I would recommend is
keep the fuselage nice and low for as long as you can. Once you have to
build a platform to work on or stand on a stool it just complicates the
process.

You don't really need either. I just built a padded stand to go
under the spar area that kept the bottom of the fusilage about 18
inches off the floor and another for the tail area -- this seemed a
convenient height to work on things. Later I put it on its gear and
the padded stand worked as a short walk way to place along side the
plane for me to stand on while working before the wings were mounted.
good luck

I built a rolling platform
(http://www.repucci.com/bill/things_to_consider.html#Roll%20Around%20Fus
elage%20Stand) when building my -9. I found it useful because it
allowed me to position the fuselage when doing different tasks, such as
mounting the wings and tail. However, I can easily see the advantage of
a rotating stand. The one problem I see with the rotating stand is that
there were times when I wanted to work on the firewall and the rotating
stand might have been in the way. The same could be said for the
fuselage sitting on a table, as mine did. On distinct advantage to
having it on the platform is you can get in it to work, and that was
helpful when bolting the wings on.
Best of luck with your project.

I have decided to start my RV with the empennage kit at Synergy Air.
Then I will start on the quickbuild fuselage in the garage, the
empennage can be stored in the hangar. After the fuselage then on to
the finishing kit then firewall forward and finally the quickbuild
wings.
Any comments?
A second question, I have found discussions on both a rolling platform
and a rotissery frame. Any pros on cons to either of these for a
quickbuild fuselage?
Thanks in advance.
