I just used what I had available. I'm 5-9+, & sometimes I was sitting, sometimes standing on a step stool of some sort, etc, as work position dictated. I suppose that doesn't help you much...
I used the create your own sawhorse brackets from Home Depot, where you use 2x4's. They worked out pretty well because I could reduce the height of them as the fuselage build grew larger.
Different phases of the project may favor different working heights, adjusted for your stature and comfort. I decided to spring for a pair of height adjustable sawhorses made by Stanley, and so far am glad to have spent the little bit extra on them. IIRC they run about $60/pair from either Lowes or HD, and maybe others. They adjust from 30" to 37". Ref post no. 534 on the following page...
John. I bought the same horses some time ago.
Use them for my bench which works very well.
It breaks down in minutes. Works well for various
Construction projects as well. I use them at the min.

Thanks all. Last weekend i purchased the brackets that use 2x4's as i had a lot of them from the wing stands. They are 36" now and are fine but will probably need to be shortened down the road.
I originally built my fuse stand based on some plans posted on this site. Once I got my quick build, I found I had to cut a lot off to lower the stand to a good height for me. I am also 5' 8" and my stand is 14" under the spar and 22" under the tail. It is on wheels that allows me to move the fuse around the garage as needed.
