A couple of guys asked for pictures of my "T"  stand.  All it is is a stand with felt on top.  It telescopes up and  down with holes drilled into the stem and locked by a pin (or bolt or  ???).  As it stands, it is 51" high, which is just right for my wing.   When rigging my MKIII, I position the stand a bit inboard of where the outboard  tip of the wing will be.  Then I swing the wing out and rotate it into  "flying" position and work the inboard edge into the lip of the fuselage.   When it pops in, I hold the wing with one hand and finish positioning the stand  with the other.  Then I rest the wing on the stand and hurry over to the  fuselage end and put in the pin.  After that I lift the wing a bit with my  shoulder and hook up the strut.  Then when the aileron and flap pushrods  are hooked up it's a done deal.  Piece of cake.

  

 I don't plan on doing much flying for the next week  or so because we're getting rain - Arizona's "monsoon" (Ha!) season.  But  if anyone wants more pics of something, let me know and I'll take them next time  I fly.

Dave --



Thanks for the picture...  it speaks a thousand words, and although

you may think it too simple to warrant a posting of the image, I

hadn't thought it would look like that, so, I'm really glad you did!

Again, thanks!

 pictures of my "T" stand>>

  

 Hi ,

 very neat. I had envisaged something more like a  step ladder to accomodate rough ground. I assume from the small flat base that  you usually rig on a flat surface.
