The link for "Spruce Wing Stand.pdf" on ch601.org is not working. Does anyone have a copy they could send me? I want to knock that out this weekend.
Thanks.

After my first email, Mark added the construction update which was just what I was looking for. Thanks for forwarding the link.

It looks like the leg ends are only 1 foot. Is that correct?
Thanks for the update.

Here is what Mark Townsend wrote yesterday on the www.ch601.org website:
We have made quite a few of these stands over the last couple of years, I do not have a blueprint but I will describe the construction here. If someone wants to draw it up and send it to me I would appreciate it.
First off drop by Home Depot and pick up 4 - 8ft 2 X 4 as straight as possible and 1 - 6ft 2X4, also a 4 X 4 piece of construction grade 1/2 in plywood. Add to that some screws 2" and 3" a couple of tie down straps ( wide) or Berber carpet ( no shag, this is not the 70's) Pick 4 castering 2" or bigger rubber wheels.
The top and bottom of the center section are 8 ft.
The uprights in the center section are 4 ft
The legs that the wheels are attached to are 3 ft
The uprights for the wing holders are 2 ft
The whole stand is built on the wheel legs, build the center section first, then screw on the legs and add wheels, then add the wing uprights. All corners are to be gusseted with plywood. When you look at the pictures above you will see a 2 X 4 doublers on the bottom of the center section. I have found that this is not needed, the gussets are more then ample for the wing stand. I use Roofing nails to hold the straps onto the stand, 5 in each end and center are more then sufficient for the task.
This stand is strong, the longest distance in the back of a pickup has been 500 miles.
Construction time is 2 hours in total, including coffee. We can now put one together in 20 minutes, without the Java stop.

I see that the leg end states that it is 2 ft long, but by looking at the picture, it seems to be only 1 foot or so. If it were 2 ft, it would be half as tall as the 4 ft center.
This is probably just a typo, or I just cannot judge the scale from the photo.
Thanks!

The wing stand you see in the picture is not one of mine, it was made
the same as the one available from Aircraft Spruce. I do make the leg
ends at 2 ft. I do this because the stands seldom stay in the shop. They
are used widely for transport and the extra length is desirable in this
situation. IF your wing stand is just for home use then 1 1/2 would be
just fine. Any shorter and you will not have enough strap wrapped around
the wing and all pressure would be on the leading edge alone.
