[Reheat]

Just hung my engine. If you are building in your garage and don't have the empennage attached, be sure to secure the tail to something. I bungee'd my tailspring to an anvil and sure enough the ship would have tipped on its nose as soon as the engine hoist was released if it had not been secured.

Someone mentioned this before, and it saved my bacon.

Whoever you were... Thanks.

Or just get a nose wheel.

That issue did not come up when I hung the engine on my -9. Tail stayed in place without the wings or tail feathers attached. Must be the different fuse and landing gear geometry between the models.
