I finished up the wing stands today. I cleaned the steel with some Simple Green which made quick work of the oily residue that was on them. I then gave them three coats of Rustoleum’s pro grade spray paint.
After letting them dry for a day I assembled them to see how the leveling rod works.
A few small turns of one of the nuts and I can make the angle completely level.
And the shop is ready for the wings. Should be shipped this week! I’m ready!
Love this blog. Been reading and watching your stuff on YouTube for a while. I’m about to start building my stand, and although I can’t drill into the concrete at my hangar, I do like the concept. Are you happy with the distance you had between the two wings to be able to work on both sides?
Thank you for the comments and for viewing our YouTube channel. I was very happy with the space I had. As with anything you can always use more but I was able to make this work very well and still park my vehicle in the garage. Reach out if you have any questions! michaelfoss@rv8-hangar.com
