Well I "finished" the fuselage and now need to transport it to the airport where it will be mated to the tail and wings! I was able to install a "transportation stick" to the bulkhead using pieces of 2X4 and two 7 inch long 3/8 inch bolts. I used 4 pieces of 2X4 as spacers (providing three inches of space) under the bulkhead and above the transportation stick. Pictures below:
I plan to add a lifting handle to this stick.
Convenient opening in fuselage to tighten nut.
Adequate clearance. Be sure to clear the brake lines.
Note the invisible helper on the bolt head.
