What's the minimum space needed between the wings in the jig? My workspace is small so I'm trying to use the space I have efficiently

What is the weight of a completed wing? The jig I'm building will be on casters; I'm trying to determine how the length of the legs required to prevent a tip over accident when only one wing is in the jig.

I used 2' on my RV-8

I used 24" between wings jig uprights on the RV-8 and faced the wings' bottoms towards each other (facing the inside). I'm not a large guy so I didn't have any issues working on both wings simultaneously, but I would go much closer than that.

I'm lanky so I don't think I'll need much room but the tools, or a bucker, may need the room. I like 24" and was afraid that wouldn't be enough; looking at your pictures and others, it look as bigger than it really is.

Thanks
