Subject: LNC2 Leveling Fuse Inverted

Hey, everyone.  I am leveling my fuse inverted to get started on the wings.  I bought by project second-hand and I was wondering how you all have done this, getting the fuse level that is.  The book says that a table or two saw horses will do.  Which has worked best for everyone?  My center section is already bonded.  Should I use the marks on the BL50 ribs to level the plane fore and aft and side to side?  I can't get to the the hole the manual states is on the firewall to check with the tail reference for the fore/aft level.  The metal is already installed over the wood firewall.  I have a super fast build kit with just about all of the wing structure done.  So I need to make the jig support at the BL50 rib or will just the tips work?  What kind of padding should I use on the longerons once the plane is inverted?  Seems to me that anything is going to deform and make subsequent measurements a little bit off.  If anyone has pictures, comments, tricks, or lessons learned, I greatly appreciate it!
