Hi Group,

Does anyone know the approximate weight of each wing fully assembled?

Crate weight includes, of course, a lot of crate.

Less than the RV-10 wing

Don't know the exact wieght, but fully assembled 1 RV-10 wing can be easily lifted by me at one end and my 115lbs wife on the other end with neither straining much. I would guess 125-150 lbs for the 10. 14's is almost the same, just a little shorter.

Thanks. I'm exploring what surface to build these on.

Anything you would sit or stand on will be strong enough to hold the wing.

14 builders, are you building the wings in the horizontal position or in the vertical position or is both required?

2 EAA workbenches. 5 feet long each I think. Sometimes spar clamed down like this:

And sometimes upright like this:
