It is not
uncommon to build your wings prior to being
ready to mount them to the fuselage.
Keeping them safe and portable in the
meantime is essential. Many builders have tried
various methods to accomplish this - some with
less than adequate results.
In this short
video you can see an easy to build (2X4 lumber)
wing stand. It may be just what you are looking
for! We can speak first hand for their
effectiveness (and break them down for easy
storage until needed for the next project)
.
The new DVD
title that is being announced today is a
collection of video demonstrations of fiberglass
cowling installations that we have created over
the years. This double DVD set shows 6 separate
cowling installations on various kit
planes.
Installing a
cowling on a home built aircraft can be a
daunting task - we hope this new DVD
release will provide builders with a
better chance for success by watching the
professional installers and observing their
techniques and tools.
