Tip: Don't discard wing cradle

Many people have given away their rolling wing cradle after aircraft assembly. I advertised my 9a wing cradle in the nashville area several times with no takers. I was getting ready to disassemble mine just before i started my first annual. I then realized i needed somewhere to put all the fairings, cowlings, pants, etc. During annual inspection. I took 2- 12 foot 2x4's and attached them verticle from inboard wing side to outboard wing side, l and r, making a surface to lay plywood. I bought 2 sheets of waferboard, cutting one in half and made a table surface 4ft x 12 ft. Great for storing and moving large plane parts and an outstanding xlarge rolling work surface. Covering it with carpet an added plus.

Joe has the right idea. I did the same and found a whole new place to store stuff and move it around easily because of the rollers.
