Brief Description:  Right Wing Storage Lift Frame

Constructed a 2 x 4 frame to hold the right wing up against the ceiling much like I did with the left wing in October. In short, the frame consists of two 12-foot-long 2 x 4s that run the span of the wing connected by two 2-foot-long 2 x 4 cross members. The 12-foot-long 2 x 4s are covered with soft carpet under-padding. Through each corner intersection of the frame, I reinforced the 2 x 4s with a plywood square, then drilled a hole to hold a 1/2" eye bolt which is held in place on the bottom with a large washer and nut. Eventually, the 4 eye bolts will have hooks through them connected to locking pulleys attached to the garage ceiling joists.
