It appears that your fuselage stand does not have any sort of rollers or
bearings to make spinning the fuselage easy.Â* How do you do it?Â* Do you
have an assistant lift the nose while you rotate at the ring?

Yes, I have hit a deer at about 50MPH, amazing the damage that can be done. :-(
Last 2 coats of Vinyl ester primer sand with 180g next. The reason for so many coats of fairing primer and primer is to sand to make sure the surface is flat with no flaws. If you don't do this the finish with not be good and all the defects will show at the finish coat. Next sanding with P180.
