Go ahead Roger! It won't crumble. I pick them up by myself in the center (by
the rear and main spars) and flip them over. It's only easier with two of
you. If you can't do the flip over with your arms crossed and do it in one
sweep, stand it on the front spar and take turns switching hands to rotate
it the rest of the way! I even took a bare wing skeleton out of my shop,
into a truck and over to the local shopping mall for an awareness display
(and back home again).

Subject: Wing: Turning it over.
toI have the framework of the right wing together and need to turn it over
me.begin installation of the bottom wing skin. There are no skins installed
yet.
The framework seems really fragile and I am concerned about bending
something If two people grab it at both ends and try to rotate it, since
there are no skins on it yet to give it some rigidity.
I saw the recent post on 12/6/00 from 'Carol51' re: 'Wing Flip', but have
concerns about bending the spars (center sagging) when the leading edge is
lifted clear of the table and rotated down. My work area is limited and
installing screw-eyes/pulleys in the ceiling would be a last choice for
*---------------------------------------------------------------------------Can two persons rotate the framework up onto the leading edge spar, then
down on its top side, or would the weight crush the leading edge ribs?
Or would it be a better idea just to disassemble and re-assemble up-side
down?
I would appreciate anyone's thoughts, tips, or suggestions.
