Welcome to the Reflector, Jorge!

I hung my wings on the wall of a friends hanger.  I built my fuselage at
home in my one car garage while the fast built (Alan Shaw) wings were stored
at the hanger.

I built wing holders using 3/8 plywood cut to match the wing's leading edge.
I don't have pictures of the wall fixtures, but I later used these pieces to
build a roll around rack that would hold the two wings and canard.  See
http://home.sprintmail.com/~romott/page22.html

I used 2x4's and 2x2's sandwiched between two sheets of 3/8 plywood.  I left
space for cut pieces of 1.5" blue Styrofoam to cushion the wings/canard in
the holder.  Worked well.

Ronnie

| I am looking for a practical storage/secure setup for the completed
| wings. I will go to the factory late September to work on a Fast Build
| XL FG. In planning and setting up my garage, I would like to decide what
| works best for me and build it beforehand, in preparation for delivery.
| If you made a sketch to build yours and want to attach it, feel free. :-)
|
| I am new to this forum but I can see the value of having such a
| resource. So far, I've learned quite a few things by reading the
| messages. Some other stuff involving explanations in building lingo is
| more difficult but I assume (or was that hope?) to understand better
| once I get into building and deal with the manuals.
|
| Thanks in advance
