In the next week or so I'll be ready to hang the engine and start the firewall forward portion of the build. I would like to leave the fuselage on the cradle to do this because it keeps it level and lower than if I put it on the main gear. Anyone done this before? The cradle supports the fuselage with a 20"x40" flat section under the spar and belly, and is plenty strong enough to handle the extra weight. I'm just worried it might cause some loads to go through the skin in ways that weren't intended. Any inputs? Photo below shows the design of the stand.
