I just set-up my rotisserie and I thought I'd share what I used.
First I purchased a 1000lb engine stand from HF which was on sale for $50. I used the opening in the firewall to attach to a block of wood with angle aluminum from HD and clecoed it to the firewall.
To that I attached a piece of plywood that would accommodate the engine stand mounts.
The tail took a little bit of head scratching. I cut a piece of plywood and clamped it to the longerons with 4 C-clamps, then attached a 7/8" pipe to it with 2 U-bolts, then to a home-made stand made out of 2x4 with some casters on the bottom.
Works REALLY well and also allows me to move the fuselage around in the space where I need it.
