Thanks I really kinda like your idea that seems like it would be a pretty
simple and easy way to do it

I would remove the prop then bolt a x-bracing made out of wood or metal
that allows enough room for stub root wings to rotate and miss the floor.
After the plane is inverted you can support the tail area just ahead of the

Mine did not have the engine. But no problem. Tie a rope to the prop hub and
the tail area. Then rest it on stands.
