Wing Cradle

RV14 Build March 17

Quick Build Wing

After we messed up the flange we decide to stop working on the airplane because it clearly was one of those days. But I figured we couldn't bungle a wing cradle too bad so we decided to build that.
I more or less copied Tims wing cradle design.

I found on Aertoons website what the quickbuild look like and modified the cradle by putting carpet on both sides so the wing spar has less risk of falling off the cradle moving from the truck to the shop.

Vans did come out with quick build wing instructions on the website now with pictures it looks like, although currently its only 2 pages long, so more to come I would think.

Basic dimensions.
They are 9.5' long** after looking at Shawn's Im going to shorten them to 8.5'
The vertical are 26"
The horizontal are 28"
The carpet is 24"
