Not sure why you want them. The only time I have had my wings out of
fixed stands is to put them on work bench to either do riveting or
remove/install fuel tanks. Wing stands are not as sturdy as a work bench
for riveting, although there are a few rows of rivets that may be easier
to do in stands. Wings are relatively easy to turn over on work bench,
at least before you put flaps and ailerons on. To be able to rotate you
would need a way to attach the outer wing end to a rotating fixture, as
well as attaching to the spar at the inner end. Not sure how feasible
that is. Most stands have a sling to support the leading edge. To rotate
you are putting all the wt onto the spar.
I'd rather have had a rotating fuselage stand than rotating wing stand,
but that is just my build experience.

Hey Carlos,
I agree, for building, you probably don't need rotisserie stands. I do have
some that I use for painting -- it helps to tip it up for that bottom edge.
I'll try to get some pics.

If you are looking for a solution to rotating the wings for painting, take a look at [url=ww.mykitlog.com/users/display_log.php?user=MauleDriver&project=224&category=5986&log=113290&row=12]this[/url] for a good hint as to how I went about setting up for single handed rotation.
The requirement was to be able to paint the entire wing panel in a single session. This eliminates any seams, economizes on paint and simplifies the shoot. And since the stuff is so toxic, I didn't want anyone else in there for the turn unless they had a fresh air supply - I only had one. Opening doors and moving around is not a good thing in a paint booth anyway.
So, I found that the lightening holes handily fit PVC pipe. In particular, the second hole back from the leading edge, near the CG, fits one size of pipe quite snugly with no play. In the picture you can see I made collars of the right size pipe and glued those to a smaller size pipe (not sure why in retrospect but I did discover that pipe diameters are not precise batch to batch so the collars would allow a little sanding for fit and ease of insertion). In another (oblong?) hole I used a size of pipe that was close enough and had lots of play.
On the other end of the wing I securely mounted a rectangle of plywood for ease of handling and leverage.
In the paint booth, I used rope or a strap hanging from the ceiling as a sling for one or both pipes (can't recall the details). For painting, the pipes and the plywood on the other end were laying on sawhorses. When one side was finished, I was able to just grab the plywood and turn the wing over single handed so that it was once again laying on the 2 sawhorses.
It all worked surprisingly well and seemed like a cheap/easy solution for a 1 time need.

This is my version of the wing rotator on a 9.
8 Ft 2x4 with legs to make a saw horse. Two 8 Ft lengths of PVC pipe. One 2 inch for rear rib hole the other sized to fit the rib hole aft of spar. Cut in half and insert into both ends o the wing.
Easy to flip wing to install stuff. For riveting I used a second set of saw horses with carpet padding on the 2x4 s.
Good Luck.

Thanks William
That's a simple and inexpensive solution.

See if this pic comes through, Carlos. Basically, bolt the wing spar to the
swivel block on one stand, make "sandwich" 2x4's to attach to the end rib
on the tip end and bolt to the other stand.
