I fit the right main gear leg tonight and packed the right wheel bearings. The tailwheel spring has not been installed yet, so the tail is still sitting on a sawhorse. The plane is only a few inches taller than it was when the entire fuselage was on sawhorses since I intentionally set them high because of how tall I am. Access to the inside while leaning over the longerons is still totally fine. The plane is also much more stable this way. Although the sawhorses were steel, the legs could move back and forth slightly, so this is a definite improvement.
