    Default Fuselage Rotisserie

    Any suggestions on fabricating a rotisserie that would screw into the rudder studs? I'm happy with the 2X4 setup on the firewall.

    Here is a Fuselage Rotisserie, that I saw looking at a web site on building Highlander. I would build it out of wood. I saw one out of wood somewhere on the Kitfox Forum, but I can’t find it. I was searching for “Rotisserie”.

    This guy is a talented builder. He took his highlander and turned it into a SuperSTOL. No easy feat, a significant amount of welding on the fuselage was entailed, adding the landing gear structures.

    Tie down strap, 1/4 inch bolt, fender washer, hang it from the rafters.

    A harbor freight engine stand works really well, too.

    For the tail, make a tongue that clamps to the tail spring mount and goes into the engine stand.
