Dead man for the wing

I picked a set of portable horses up at the hardware store because they looked like something that would help me put the wings on the fuse. I made a small modification to and wa la I was right. By using a threaded rod and nut I can raise and lower front to back and inboard to outboard.

Note the inset image. To see them in use check the url below.

That's a much better view of the stands. Which hardware store? I like 'em!!

I read this second too, Chad...

Actually, having stands here instead of people would probably make it a more precise affair!

The stands are always pating attention and you can take your time!

Guess I'm following the crowd. I read this post adter the other one also.

I like the cradle and threaded rod. Looks like a great way to be able to position the wings just where they need to be.

Good idea.

Great idea, theaded rods are on my list for that job, when I get to in several years. Man, not having to re-invent the wheel every day sure does help.
