The 2x4 frame acted as a rotisserie, easily rotating the fuselage.

 George dropped in to see the plane in its new surroundings.

Sewing and gluing tape onto piece to cover the turtle deck

We ended up taking out this stitching, re-adjusting the tension and Jill sewed on the tape, Henry's motto "No sense doing anything the first time as the 2nd time its always a lot better"

Moving Bill LeBrun's Jungmeister (Jungster) out of the workshop and up the elevator shaft

Bill LeBrun had a team of aircraft builders helping him carefully maneuver his Jungmeister [Jungster] fuselage out of his workshop, up the elevator shaft and out into the sunshine for trip to get covered and then final assembly. Thank you to George, Jack, Bert, Rick W, Rick R, Adrian, Wayne, n Jill (photos) with Bill.

 The fuselage was set into the elevator, then Wayne carefully raised the elevator with the door open just until the fuselage reached the cross beam, then everyone slowly lifted the fuselage vertically with the front end protruding through the Main floor exit door...and then slowly working the elevator up til the entire piece was level with the Main floor
