Brief Description:  Wings into The Wing Frame

Spent a couple of hours taking the wings down from the garage ceiling and putting them into the wing frame for transport to the airport hangar. I managed to do this by myself by having the (accidental) foresight to hang the wings using locking pulleys. The wing was hung from the ceiling using 4 independent pulleys that automatically lock unless you open a release mechanism. This made raising the wings a snap. It also allowed me to control the lowering too. So after a series of back and forth to the two ends of each wing on a ladder, I was able to lower each wing down to the level of the frame, then tip them up into the frame.
Now I just have to figure out how to get them to the airport.

Thirty minutes later it's a simple flip off the rack and onto the wing stand.
