Building the wing cradles and fuselage stand

We did this a few weeks ago, but I thought I should document what we did.  I built the wing cradles from this diagram (and only this diagram).  Not sure where it came from, since I downloaded it a long time ago.

The fuselage stand is very simple.  I built it exactly as described here: http://wcurtis.nerv10.com/fusestand/fusestand32.html

Pallets just didn’t trip my trigger so I picked up twp wooden sawhorses, 2ea 8′ 2 x 4’s and 4 swivel casters at the Home Depot. Cut the 2 x 4’s in half, cut the legs off the horses and screwed this all together. It is just the right height, you can wheel it around and it was less than $40.

My only regret is that I didn’t use bigger casters on these.  They’re fine in the garage, but at some point if we want to roll things out to the driveway temporarily, it’ll be a little rough.
