I just finished installing the plumbing for the fuel tank selector and boost pump in the cockpit. Getting the 3/8-inch tubing flaired and bent just so was definitely an education. The biggest problem was bending over the cockpit sides; I wonder if I have done some permanent damage to my back. In the working smarter, not harder category: Would the 2180 VW crank shaft and prop flange sustain any damage while serving as a pivot for a fuselage rotisserie? The tail end of the fuselage would attach to the second pivot at the tail spring. Without wings being attached, the fuselage could be held at 90 degrees rotation for systems installations while I stood straight and tall.
