Show a pic of your wing stand...
Trying to get some ideas. If you would please post a picture of your wing stand, maybe some closeups of how you stabilized it...that would be great! Thanks!

I used a rolling stand made from some aluminum extrusions. I was lucky to get this from another local builder. It was nice to be able to move it around with the wings on in my limited garage space. You could just as easily make something similar from wood. With the matched hole construction, you only really need to make the jig straight and level while you match drill the skins, and then again while riveting. I put some threaded rods under the mid span of the rear spar to prevent sagging.

I didn't sweat it. Sturdy 2by4s anchored to the concrete floor and screwed to the beams on top.

Vlad, that self portrate suggests you aged a lot over the course of your built!
When working of restoration projects, we used rolling wings racks that had verticals braced on the lower outside corners and had carpeting slung between the uprights. The wings went in "leading edge down".
It's similar to the EAA design ...

additional storage
FYI, I built the traditional wing stand (and it now sits in the hangar looking for a home) but added extra storage in the center to hold the tail section parts.

Thanks Rudi! Built his metal stands and would (will?) do the same again.
Flipped the wings to make working on the aft spar and control surfaces easier.
