Hi All,
I am starting my wing soon. The manual call for the construction of wing stand, I had a look at a few builders' log and found out there are variation of designs from the manual.
First thing is, the manual called for building the stand from ground to ceiling. However, I read others have their stand on wheels, I wonder if it is necessary to bolt the stand into the ground/ceiling? I can see the advantage of mobility and storage with the stand is on wheels, seems like a good idea, but is there a downside to that idea?
Also, some build a double wing stand with two wings going parallel, 3 feet apart to each other. Would anyone suggest to go thru the extra effort to do so? Would there be a HUGE advantage to do so if I can spare the space?
Lastly, can anyone recall one of the major hurdles when you were building your slow build wing, that if you're to start the process again, how would you tackle it instead?
Many thanks!
Hank
