Wing rotation jigs

[jiott]

aviator79 those are beautiful. I notice quite a sophisticated clamp mechanism at the pivot points on the vertical uprights. Just a suggestion to really simplify this area: just use a 1/4" or so carriage bolt with a large fender washer and a wing nut for this pivot joint. Loosen the wing nut to rotate and tighten it to clamp in place.

I used a couple of cheap engine stands from Harbor Freight. Used them for the fuselage too...

It's really not that sophisticated, and when you're waiting for a kit, there is time to over-engineer. I thought about the carriage bolt you describe. I wasn't sure how well it would resist torque when drilling and what not. Maybe I thought too hard.
