However, I flight plans have changed. After departing Mobile, AL on Friday afternoon, we will fly direct to Alexander City, AL (ALX) and spend the night there. Departing EARLY Saturday morning for High Valley Resort. Hope to see some more Kitfoxes there!

If we can use their grill, I can bring some burgers and dogs.. It's only a one hour trip for me so I can take a small cooler. Or perhaps it would make more sense to wait and see how many people will actually come and then make a trip into town for provisions... -------- Luis Rodriguez Model IV 1200 Rotax 912UL Flying Weekly Laurens, SC (34A) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=182945#182945 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:35:42 AM PST US From: Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Wing stands? I have some plans out in my shop where someone use PCV pipe that slipped into the ends of the spars and the wing could be rotated around as use work on it.

Harold, I made a spreader bar that I could bolt onto a rotating engine stand and the spars. On the wingtip end I made a stand from conduit that I could stick in the wingtip light mounting hole. Then I could ratate as necessary and stop at nearly any angle.

Lowell and some of his crowd went to this last year and had some fun.

Same here...PVC pipe and fittings, allowing the wing to rotate. I went a step further and made a brake of sorts that will keep the wing at any position in the rotation. Your situation, Harold, is one that made me fasten my tips on with machine screws and anchor nuts...removable.

Soft pack or canister? I have canister type direction with crude photos from BRS. I also have photos of my installation on the mounting of the 1600lbs soft pack. This is basically for the model 5 and later but may give you ideas for earlier model. Soft pack I can e-mail - canister by Fax.
