This has been a productive discussion and I do appreciate the benefit of
adapting existing structures. I'm certainly guilty of tending to the complex

Kevin. One risk with the step ladders diagonally across the plane Charlie,
is getting the beam moved into place without dropping it on the fuselage.
For now I'm going to use either wood 4x4s or my 2x4 steel to support a
horizontal beam and steady them by tying it to the garage. Then I'll have
all summer to decide if a more elegant solution is a priority for float
removal in the fall.
Thanks guys.
