Cleve,

Have a look at the cradle on Chuck Popenoe's page (see link below). This
is the one that I am using, and I believe that it's much better than the
design suggested in the manual. With this cradle, one person can easily
roll the entire fuselage to 60 or 90 degrees for better access to the
underside, plus the general support provided is very good, with no need
to drill holes in the fuselage.

have any experience with this design - and will it pull the fuselage into shape?
