'can any one tell me how to hold a 24 wing during recover? Is there a
fixture to hold the wing by the attachment points? Are there blue
prints to make one?'

'Tom,

Sent you one to your address. If any one else needs a drawing for a Fuselage or Wing Rotation stand, let me know. They are on the CD Rom also.

'hang it vertically with one rope from fusalage attach point and another one
at the aileron attach fitting. rib stitching is easier when hung vertically.
I have open ceiling trusses which also helped.. walt

'A fixture can be made to hold a wing so that it can be rotated during
covering and finishing. I have used one to cover the wings of my F 22
wings. It certainly makes life a lot easier.
The butt of the wing was attached to a fixture that rotated. The lift
strut fittings were bolted to a round piece of steel that rotated on
rollers. Some farmers feed large round bales of hay. One of the feeders
they use is constructed using large round pieces of steel. Happy covering.

'This is how we did our wings. The root end was held with an angle
iron fixture pinned to wing fittings the adaptor was bolted to an
engine stand. The engine stand was from Harbor Freight @ $34.99 inc
shipping. Cut the stand to raise center of rotation to suit. Used a
22' joint of 3/4" black pipe and used a conduit bender and made
slight bend every 5" of length. This made a circle 7' in dia. Weld
ends together. This will accept 6' chord wings, longer if strut
fittings in aileron well area. To get a nice round circle use a
grease pencil and trammel a circle on floor for ref. Make a roller
setup for the hoop and tie it to engine stand with 2) 11' joints of
the same pipe. Mount these out at ends of stand that way you get
maximum vertical clearance staying away from centerline. Tie the tip
end of these pipes with cross piece of angle and let hoop roll on
these pipes. Rollers aren't really needed as the round section of the
pipes makes very little contact area thus not much friction but
sufficient to hold wing in any position w/o having to lock it down
every whipstitch. It was all done for way less than $75 including
casters but you need to have a welder. I even bent a pipe without a
bender. I put it on dry firm soil, backed the tractor over it,chained
the end to wheel, then continued to back over it till 360 degrees.
The 38" tires resulted in a hoop over 6'dia. Probably OK but I wanted
one to be able to handle some 73" chord wings I was working on. I had
never thought of the bale feeders as Mr. Wyss suggested, good idea!
Go down to TSC and take a look. These are very strong.

'I could use a drawing as well.
I guess I am suffering from loss of memory. What drawing that I have did
you want? Maybe I should send a copy of all of them and let the scredder
take care of the excess. I know that I will need to send a hard copy. Our

'Robert,

I posted the Wing and Fuselage stand drawings in the Files area on Yahoo. You can copy to your hard drive or print from there.
