I flipped my fuselage today to do the surface prep and final paint on the bottom. It will be upside down for about a month until the bottom is complete through final paint. The weather was bad so I did not take very many pictures but I will add more when it gets turned over.
My flipping rig is similar to others I have seen on some of the KR web pages, but I made mine wider than most. Mine is attached at the main spar with the wing attachment fittings and some brackets that I welded up out of scrap. It is also attached to the fire wall and has lots of bracing. I had a total of nine people (and my wife watching the show). If I add wheels to the top (which is now on the ground) of the structure, it can be done with as few as four or five.
