Default Weight of a wing

I'm hoping someone has an answer that can save me the time of getting the scales out.

I've been building a -10 for WAY to long. Kinda ran out of money after the wings and it's been patiently waiting for me to get to work. The wings are currently in a rolling cradle I built.

My new shop has a very high ceiling and I'm thinking of hanging them (as well as the empennage) to store them out of the way until I need them.

Anyone have a rough weight on a single wing so I can ensure the hoist system and supports are good to go?

Thanks,

John

Sum up two bathroom scales under your cradle. That'll give you a rough indication for the weight of your wing.
