| Step 5: Putting the Fuselage to Bed - Details |

| The picture on the
right shows the wing under the fuse and the bubble wrap and soft foam
padding. You can also see where the two pieces of rigid foam have been
glued together
Below you can see the foam block that supports the fuse under the landing gear. This block keeps the landing gear from resting on the bottom of the box, so any bumps are not transferred through the gear to the fuse. |

Below is another picture of the block and you can see the clearance in front of the spinner. I did put a foam block over the spinner, but it really wasn't necessary as you'll see on the next page I located the plane using the wing tubes so it could not shift at all in the box. |
