Chuck, They are in Memphis being used on some Super Cub wings but should be able to be drop shipped to you next week.

Bill, I used 1 1/4" square tubing for mine. The two horizontal tubes on the root end are 31" apart with a hole drilled in the bottom horizontal tube closest to the end which will be your front spar bolt. I drill the hole in the upper tube after I install the wing and mark the rear spar hole. The stand that attaches to the lift strut fittings use 3/4" tubes for the horizontal members 31" apart. The overall height is 46 1/2" for the wing root stand and 46" for the lift strut stand. These were made in a hurry so you might get a little more accurate. The thing I like is no paint is touched and they take up less room stored or loaded with wings than the sling type. Let me know if you need more dimensions and I will mark them and take photos.

I'm fixing to pull the wings on my TriPacer and will need something to hold them. I was gonna build the old sling type, but these look mucho better. If you're too busy, I can pull the dimensions from the CD drawings.
Thanks for your time and this forum.

Ok, thanks for the dimensions on the stands. I think they're the best design I've seen.

What was the wing in the wing strap pictures primed with? Looked good!!

What did the rotator attach to at the tips in the pictures? Screwed into the tip bows?
Thanks.

The original tip bows have a small fitting screwed to both spars that the rotator picks up.

Re: Tools
Was reading the latest copy of The Cub Clues when I saw a neat article by Marvin Hoppenworth who is the guy behind the pedal planes like a built Lee several years ago. He had some pictures of his fuselage mover, wing rotator and tail feather paint fixture. I had been looking at different designs of tail feather fixtures and liked his the best. Dana at the Cub Club sent me a picture and I worked off of that. Got it finished today and it works really nice.
