Sure, I'll do it tomorrow. But it isn't anything but a padded "T" stand
that the wing sits on.

OK, Here is the skinny on my wing fold.
'Every time I unfolded and set-up my Firestar and entered into the enclosed cabin, there was this terrible smell. I couldn't figure it out. Others noticed it even when I would come back to the hanger and re-fold the wings. We checked everywhere in the Firestar a man could look. Did something die in the tube, was constantly in the back of my mind.
Then I finally discovered the terrible smell. ME! B.O. Old people sweat putting that thing together and taking it apart. Lets see: $50.00 per month wings folded, $ 100.00 per month wings and plane ready to go. I now opted for the mature thing; pay $100.00 for hanger space and save a great deal of embarrassment around others and myself and a lot of money off quality deodorant. Why, heck! Dollar Store has JoJimBob deodorant for a buck a tube. At that price I have already saved $ 50.00 a month!
Now when Winter comes, that may be a different story.
In all seriousness. It is a task for me, with bad legs, short leg (or long leg, depending on which angle you look), bad back, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, bad disposition, poor outlook on life, and elderly! I believe if I had to pay $ 150.00 per month for the luxury, I would rather than fold, un-fold every time I wanted to fly. I really appreciate a man that could go and trailer his plane to a field, unload it, unfold it, check it out, park the car and trailer and then, with the energy left, go fly. Then repeat the process to take it back home. Some of you men are still pretty young. Enjoy all that you can now.

Not necessarily. In fact, most of my rigging is on dirt, grass, or ???. It's a rare occasion when I rig on asphalt or other flat surface. The stand does jess fine, thank yew, on just about any surface. It doesn't have to be exactly straight up and down.
