Wing Rotisserie

I'm prepping the wings for paint and here's how I'll rotate them. A 4" diameter plastic drain pipe fits perfectly into the lightening hole just aft of the main spar and is run almost to the aileron bellcrank. A 2x4 fits into the pipe and is screwed to the sawhorse. A short length of plastic pipe in one of the small lightning holes holds the wing horizontal and can be slid in when you want to rotate the wing.


I did the same thing on the other end and the balance point is perfect with the trailing edge of the wing being just a little heavy.
