Dennis,
Thanks for the new years wishes. The same for you.
This morning I started riveting the 705 bulkhead together this morning.
Figuring out how to hold everything together to match drill those two
angle pieces for the tip-up took a little thought. I figured it out and
moved on.
149 hours! Man, you have been flying the daylights out of your -9.
Sounds to me like your plane will be warn out by the time I finish mine.
I hope you and your family had a great holiday season.

I am finally about to start my wings. Yippeeee!
So I am about to build the wing jig. Space is a little limited but I would
like to build both wings at the same time. I would like to build one
structure with 2 uprights and mount both wings on it on opposite sides so I
can build both wings at once. I figure if have to get to the back side, I
will take the other wing off the structure and set it in the storage rack.
Is this really practical? Or would I be moving the wings around so often
the hassle factor would be excessive?
If this is a bad idea, how much space between the wings is necessary--just
enough to get a person in there to buck rivets and screw on the tanks?
Thanks for your advice.

Richard, I built both my wings that way, hanging upright next to each other
on a stand, about 5 feet or so between them. Worked great, and they stayed
there from the time I hung the main spars on them, to the time they were
completed (sans wingtips). Worked great for me. Also, as a side note, I
back riveted my tops skins in this fashion, and when I completed my bottom
skins with the help of a friend we compared the degree of difficulty in
finishing his QB bottom skins on a table. We both agreed, hanging vs. on a
table was easier to do. Just my .02. Glenn in Arizona -9A fuselage.

Richard
I used 4 posts so I could hang both wings with some space so I could get
between them. Put it on wheels under it and put plywood on top so it became
storage.

Richard,
I did mine back-to-back, only about 6" apart. I could slide them further
apart (about 2') when necessary, but didn't have to do that often. I built
them in the area between cars in a two car garage. There did come a point
where I had to rack one wing to finish the other. While there were a few
times things could have been more convenient, I never put the first wing
back on the jig. A role-around rack for the finished wings has been a big
help.
