Drawings for Wing and Fuse stands

[Bill.Peyton]

I am expecting my RV-10 QB Fuse and QB wings to arrive in the next 3 weeks and want to get the slings and stands built ASAP. Does anyone have drawings or suggestions for what worked and what didn't?
Thanks
Bill

Thats just what I needed. I do not see a dimension for the width for the wing sling, do you know what that is?

Wing sling dimension

Bill, I also built the wing stand that Rob mentioned and I'm very happy with it. As far as the dimensions for the wing sling, I laid the main spar/wing root on the 2x4 and as a friend held the wing tip and leveled the wing with the floor, I tightened the carpet sling and screwed it in place. The length of carpet that I used was approx 8'. David

Wing sling width

The width i used was 2 ft, but I don't think it's critical.

Thanks guys!

I noticed that Geoff Combs used a fuse stand that picked up the spar carry through and the step tube on either side. It really looked clean and sturdy

ShowPlanes has the slickest unit I have ever seen. Two heights, casters, stabilizing jacks, and really stable.

This is a photo borrowed from their web site, lots more pictures there------look on the left of the screen for "current projects".

I do not know if he is producing these for sale, or just something he made for this project, but the design is sweet

My wing stand is pretty basic and very similiar to what others have posted.

Pre-carpet sling, the spar is c-clamped to the 2x4 on the right:

Sling added:

Here's a shot of my fuselage stand. The main part of the stand which is hard to see here is just a 4x4 platform w/ cutouts for the gear mounts and brake line fittings.​

There are many other photos on my build site.​

thanks to all who responded. I think I going with attaching the fuse stand to the main spar and the step tube.

Rotating Fuse Stand

I looked through the posts on this topic, and they seem a little old, so I decided to post to see if anyone has built a rotating fuse stand for the 10? If so, can I steal some thoughts/pics/dimensions? I pick up my fuselage box this week.

 

[Bill.Peyton]

I have never seen a rotating version. I ended up building a stand that catches the main spar and the landing gear "pipe" that is provided as part of the QB fuse kit. Later when I attached the tail cone I added a support to go under the cone that is padded with foam.
