A flipping good day

After the cradle was finished on Sunday, my good friend Burt came over to retrieve an extra workbench and also to help us the fuselage canoe right-side up.

IMG_5106Getting the fuselage onto the cradle was easy, but flipping it wasn’t.  But eventually we got everything in place.

A good dayI’m smiling in that pic…you can’t tell, but I am.  Here’s the flipped canoe in all its glory…

With the fuse upright, I have some shop cleaning and rearranging to do but then it’s back to work on finishing interior structure and the cockpit.
