Wing rotating tool

[Planenut25]

I’m about to purchase a PA-16 that’s going to need the wings recovered. In the Stewart Systems covering videos, they used a rotating stand while covering the airframe. Does anyone have any photos that I can use to construct one like it?

I recovered my wing and documented the process. Here is a link to the videos. There are detailed shots of the rotation fixture in one of the videos. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...qNcZ6RcHKnWzu4 . I used the Stewart system as well.

Also, the Short Wing Piper club has rotation fixtures available to members.

I haven't watched the Stewart System videos, so I don't know what their rotisserie looks like, but here are a couple of Youtube videos of DIY wing rotisseries:

Yes, I belong to the club, but I think that I could probably weld one up cheaper than the cost to have it shipped to me.

Thank you, that helps.

I’m in the middle of nowhere…had to build my own. Air fright on 20’ long straight sticks of square tubing and the tubing roller was cheaper than buying and shipping of a couple off the self wing rotisserie combined. Honda ATV front axles/CV joints, 1” square tubing with oh six five wall… bought a swag off road tubing roller to make the hoops..
