Carpet time

On the wing spar end of the cradle, I cut some short 1x2's and screwed them to the top of the 2x6, just to help define the cutouts where the wings spar sits. Then I cut 2 hunks of old carpet, about 5 inches wide and stapled them to the wing cradle around the edges of the carpet, making sure that none of the staples would ever touch the wing spar. On the other end of the cradle, I used that rubber stuff that you put under your living room throw rugs, as the cush for the leading edge of the wing. It will provide enough cush to protect the surface of the wing, while also preventing it from scooting around on the cradle.
