Brief Description:  Wing Storage Frame

Began construction of a wing storage frame to hang the left wing from my garage ceiling to get the workbench cleared off. Essentially, I'm building it from 2x4s from the wing crate (conveniently the right length), 4 x 1/2" eye bolts in the 4 corners of the frame, 4 x locking hoists connected to the ceiling by 4 3/8" steel hooks. All told, this should support about 1,000 pounds. My wing weighs ~100 pounds. Considering the wing will be stored above my wife's car, I don't think this is too much over engineering!

Now I need three volunteers for the big lift.

Wing lift test.  Works as planned.  I later added padding to the long supports to reduce scratching.
