Dave,
See attached pictures.
For the floor (RV-9A), I erected two vertical posts and clamped two athwartship braces under the forward and aft spars. The floor is clamped to the braces.
For the tailcone (RV-10), it was quicker to just set up a ladder and use the tail hook to secure it, Put some padding on the ladder. The bottom skin (J bars) had been completely back riveted before it was assembled into the sides and tops. Leave room at the floor to get inside. See the feet of person inside! The very aft end was finished by putting the tailcone on some low saw horses. In the pictures, the skins aft of F109? are still clecoed.
If you do not have room in the workshop, move outside for the hour or so it takes to rivet the structure together,
Make your supports secure. Do not drop the assembly on the floor.

[quote] Hi Richard,
I'm intrigued. Can you shed some more light (a picture would be awesome)? Did you suspend the fuse from the ceiling/rafter? If so, did you suspend from the centre section spars?
thanks
Ron
