Brief Description:  Made wing stand

Took about 1 hour to go to the store and buy the nuts, bolts, casters, straps, and wood. Took about 3.5 hours to cut the wood, install the casters, cut up the plywood, and screw the thing together. Took a guess on the height - it may be too tall. Laid out the 27-foot strap over one end, marked how much that was and then folded the strap in half to see how much extra strap to cut off. Turned out to be about 4" short, so I just redevided the strap in exactly half. Cut it, melted the ends to prevent fraying, and bolted the straps to the frame. Now I need to complete a wing to set in it and see if this stand is good or if it needs changes. The stand is based on one seen at a CH601 non-factory but builder support website. It didn't have dimensions, but I made some up based on having the straps be 80" (8 rib spaces) apart.
