RV-10 Fuselage Construction

RV-10 #40237 - Fuselage Construction - Fuselage Stand

First | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter | Project Home

After my second and hopefully final move, I decided to put some thought into a stand for the RV-10 fuselage. It had to be something that would allow me to work on all of the areas such as the belly, the side skins, etc, yet easy to fabricate. Fuselage Stand parts dimensions (PDF)
