8 Upside-Down on Saw-Horsies (or Right-Side Up)
OK, I now this is a lame topic but I want to get some more discussions goin on here. Anyone worried about a sag in the middle of their fuse when its only supported on the two ends.
RV-8 Fuse/Finish
Are you talking about the fuse in the clecoed-together stage or once it's riveted together?
Once my RV-4 fuse was riveted together and I popped off the jig (back in the pre-dawn history of RV building) it was pretty sturdy. Semi-monocoque custruction is designed to be self-supporting. Still, it sure wouldn't hurt to have a little support in the middle.

I'm only worried about any sag happening when I crawl into the fuse to do some work. Without me in it, there can't be any more then 20 lbs worth of weight on the tail sawhorse. I don't think it's worth worrying about.
