REFLECTOR: Wing Storage Possibilities

[KeithHallsten]

Jorge,

Welcome to the building adventure!  I stored my wings before attaching the
winglets - I am building in a large hangar with a high ceiling, so I just
installed a couple of 6-inch diameter sheaves to the roof beams and hoisted
the wings almost to the ceiling with a worm-drive hand winch (from Harbor
Freight) bolted to the building wall.  The wings were held leading-edge-down
in nylon web slings, and I used small-diameter nylon kern-mantle climbing
rope on the winch.  Every situation is a bit different, so your solution may
vary!  What part of the country are you located in?
