I got a little help finishing my wing stands. Nephew Cameron (smiling) was visiting from Houston so I put him to work drilling brackets for my Rudi Greyling of South Africa inspired wing stands. Austin had previously helped me with welding the bottom feet. I painted one set red and the other set green. For those unfamiliar with aircraft or boat lighting, red is for the left wing or port side and green for the right or starboard side. The memory aids I was taught were: "red, right, returning" - if the red light is on the right, the aircraft or ship is pointed toward you and "port wine" - port is left in boat speak and port wine is reddish. I figure the simple color coding might prevent me from reversing parts.
I only need to bolt them to the floor and I'll be ready for the wings. Location will be important as I plan on building both wings at the same time but I want to have enough room to park a car in the garage. They're scheduled to ship during the week of the 18th of January.
