The easiest way to do these awkward layups on the upper baggage bay 
bulkhead is to use Chuck Pop's cradle and turn the whole fuselage on its 
side, then do the layup in comfort, seated on a low chair, (like a 
liberated office chair?)
That way the tapes don't keep falling off.
Turn the fuselage back upright after partial cure, just to be sure there is 
no distortion
