it took forever to line up the little hoop symetrically with the big hoop floating it out in midair. i wanted it as tight to the body as possible and still allow the winch to be removed.

after that i bent up the main hoop, it tapers in the back a little, and curls down also. it's amazing i got it to float in midair for me.
