Wing Cradle

My birthday present arrived a little early. The wing kit for my RV-7 arrived today. I have already inventoried it and I'm looking to start with the wing cradle.

Vans recommends one where both he outward and inward section of the wings are essentially supported by wood. I have seen ones where the outboard edge is supported with a 'carpet sling' To see this seems like a better options, and pro and cons or suggestions as to which one I should go with?

Thank you in advanced
 
to start off you’ll want a wing jig with the leading edge facing the ceiling, then further into the build, like when you start mounting the elevator and ailerons, and for storage, the carpet sling type works well with the leading edge facing the floor. Check my build log, wing section.
