Hey folks- I have my wing rotisserie working and I am pretty happy with it!

Interesting attachment at the tip ends.

Dave, I'm impressed with your wing stands. I'm puzzled, though, how you are going to do the fabric covering on the outboard ends. Maybe you've got that figured out. I'm curious: how are you planning to do that? Cheers, Ken

This is a work in progress and the finished result may bare no resemblance to the current state....

More to come.

Here's how I handled the outboard wing rotator. I drilled a hole through the wing bow where the weight was approximately balanced and then installed a T-Nut on the inner face of the wing bow. I inserted a threaded rod from the wing to the rotator stand. A picture will make this clearer. Later, when the wings were finished and about ready for paint, I glued a hardwood dowel into the hole in each of the outer wing bows. Cheers, Ken
