Default Tip: Bubble-wrapped fuselage

Now that my fuselage is right-side up and becoming airplane-like, it is making things in the garage pretty tight. I have been worried about dinging or scratching the fuselage with something like an air-hose fitting, tool handle, etc. I found this 24" wide bubble wrap on sale at staples, and decided to wrap the plane with it. I think it will certainly help guard against scratches and small dings on the skins. I also wrapped the steps.

Default Bubble wrap

Have you ever considered using moving pads/blankets? They are a little more durable and would give greater protection from accidents. If your interested let me know. Thanks mike
