Wing cradle modification
Since I am only using "my half" of the garage, there are space limitations. Up until now I have kept all of the unused wing parts in the original 3x6 crate that I got from Van's when the wings were delivered. Now that I have to store one of the wings to start on the other, I NEED MORE SPACE! So decided to add a lower section to the wing cradle to hold the wing parts and get rid of the 3x6 crate from Van's. Here I have removed one of the angle 2x4 braces and replaced it with a vertical brace, using some of these neat tin attachment thingies (that's a technical term), which I got from Home Depot. I had to remove the original 45 degree angle to allow room for the wing skins to lay flat on the lower section.
