I saw a picture of a wing storage rack on some builders web page and made

one like it. It's really quite handy but I can't find the source. Since it

works so well, if anyone knows where it came from perhaps they'd post it for

others to copy as well. It turns out to be about the same height as the

plastic sawhorses I got from Home Depot and that makes it easy to move the

wings apart to work on the insides. I don't have the leading edges and tanks

on yet so I put a 2x4 in instead of the carpet loop to support the spar.

Thanks to someone for a really good idea.

That looks pretty similar to mine, but better built.

The originator of this wing rack also had the dimensions listed for it so it

was a snap to build out of scrap 2/4's. Had to buy 2 10 foot boards but the

remainder were 28 inches or shorter. Looks like yours Tim, did the idea come

from you? It's a great one.

They wingstand design keeps evolving .  You may have gotten the 

dimensions from my site here 

<http://lrosen.nerv10.com/Construct/WingStand/index.html>.  My origin 

was dimensions from Tim Olson, who modified the design from Dan 

Checkoway, who modified plans I am sure from someone.  Why reinvent the 

wheel.



Albert, If you email me photos and some commentary on your modifications 

or suggestions on how you would do it different next time, I will post 

them on my website.  Email me at larryrosen(at)comcast.net

Nope, I'm not the originator....I copied by kind of morphing another

wing cart that I saw...maybe for a -7 or something.  Then, Larry

liked mine and got the dimensions, improved on it, and

made a great page showing it with all the dimensions.

It's just great to see things like that evolve from builder to

builder. Yours will probably be even better.

There's a better wing storage rack on the plans for the RV7, it's by a crowd 

some of you know as Vansaircraft.....

I'll see if I can get this modern technology to work and scan the plans or 

photgraph them. The Van's rack will do all the RV models.
