Default TIP: How To Cheap Twist Wing Setup
http://yfrog.com/n1paintingtheairplane2010jx Here how I built a rotisserie to spin my wings in painting. Cost $12.00 and took ten minutes to put together. Best of Luck, Bill of Georgia RV-8a Painting

What a great idea...! For the last couple of years, I've been wondering about how I was going to rotate the wings while painting... thanks for a simple solution.

Now, how about the fuselage?

Default Wing Spinner for Painting
Mike, I wish I had posted the photos open so the "folks" could see how easy and cheap the idea is. Sadly, only a few will see it, but thanks for the positive feedback. This week I should have both wings wet sanded and buffed out so I can take them to the airport. Hope to have the rest of the plane all painted and shipped in the next couple weeks. Best regards, Bill
