I finally broke down and built a rotisserie for my fuselage. Made a big difference on installing parts on the inside of the fuse. Also made painting the inside a lot easier. I recommend it for anyone.
I'm not the best welder but it turned out OK. I fabricated mine from some scrap metal, water pipe, and some old exercise equipment. Also made some arms I can use when I paint the wings. Used a universal "joint" on each end so it does not put a strain on the plane when the end poles are at different heights. Did not have to drill any addition holes to mount it to plane.Those bolts shown on the tail only go into the 2 by 4. The 2 by 4 is bolted to the F 712 bulkhead with one AN3 bolt and two AN4 bolts. Going to change up the forward end so I can attach it to motor mount after I install it.
Enclosing some pic links so you can get idea how I fabricated it.
