Nice looking paint booth also!

Yeah, this is the paint booth where I work. It was so nice to have it available. I didn't have to worry about getting a compressor, air dryer, forced air mask, hoses, etc. I did buy a $20 HF HVLP spray gun that worked very well.
We do a lot of painting of planes and components. We can fit any single engine fuselage or wings in there.

This is the fuselage stand we use. It bolts into the engine mount locations on the fuselage. It allows both a 45 degree and a 90 degree tilt in either direction. The two bottom posts have casters welded to them for easy rolling around the shop. Covers most needs for covering and painting.
On the tail is a stand made out of a desk chair bottom with the casters in place and a metal post that attaches to the lowest rudder attachment point. It has a rod end bearing welded to the top of the post which allows swiveling in either direction. Easy for one person to rotate the fuselage without assistance.

Yes, I wonder about him too. I can't imagine being that close to done and not flying it. Be nice to know everything is OK. I have followed his build from day1, a very nice informative site.
