If you've got a shop with a moderately high ceiling and exposed beams, you
can use a hoist. Make a sling out of two lengths of wide webbing. This goes
around the fuselage near the aft end of the cockpit. Attach this to a
come-along securely fastened to the overhead beams. It helps if you use a
spreader to connect the straps to the come-along (eg strong steel pipe with
bolts through it) just slightly narrower than the fuselage; this allows you
to roll the fuselage to any angle you want. You can then crank the
fuselage up to any height and either roll it upside down or turn it 90
degrees. You'll obviously need a sawhorse under the tail boom.

The advantages to this method a 1: you can rotate to any number of
angles and 2: if it's set up right, you can actually manhandle this without
anyone else around.

What is a good (safe) method to turn over the fuselage so work can be
done on the udercarriage ? I have access to a fork lift if needed.
