Dan,

I rolled my LS-1 on it's side by gently sliding the cradle out from
under it and resting the fuse on an old thick sofa cushion. Remove the
canopy first obviously. Once onto the thick sofa cushion, gently roll
it on it's side and support the vertical fin with another cushion.
Advantage here is that it doesn't require any lifting and it can't
"fall" as can happen if you attempt to invert it onto a sawhorse.
