Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: wing hoistIf you have sufficient space above might I suggest you build a rolling wing stand(EAA has plans as does Tony B). Put two large bolted eyelits on the top ofthe stand either side and hoist the entire works with the wings on up into therafters. Worked great for a set of wings for me and I am able to break downthe wing stand. It has been loaned out to other builders on occasion. Less thana hundred bucks of wood and hardware to build.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: wing hoistJohn,Attach about 100 Mylar Happy Birthday balloons to your wings after you wrap them in bubble pack and float themto the rafters. They'll come down gently as the helium leaks out of the balloons!Seriously, I would simply use the wing root fittings and the lift strut fittings with the wings upside down and use a systemlike this that is used for storing bicycles at the ceiling in garages.http://compare.ebay.com/like/1707821703 ... r=sbarMike C.[cid:image001.jpg(at)01CD90E3.565F3B30]________________________________________________________________________________
