Re: Spitting images

[Graham Clarke <gemin@cix.compulink.co.uk>]

Whatever you do during construction if you want to paint it yourself a 
spit saves a lot of hasell - yes the aerobatic checks are necessary when 
you turn it over - but unload any fuel as its not cleared for inverted 
painting otherwise. 

The simplest spit is a rope from a beam then round the engine -(so 
nothing touches the fueselage) with the tail tube in a vertical pedestal. 
90 deg rather than inversion is enough, so the fin doesn't need clearance.
