Wing Cradles

I borrowed Terry Moushon's Wing Cradles he used to build his RV 10.  Same wing for RV14a as RV10, only shorter...so I'm sure they'll work (10' long, so shorter than my wings).    I arranged to pick up in my SUV, but Terry decided best to use his pick-up to deliver them to me.   Opportunity to show him my build progress since he brought the Wing Cradles right to my shop.  Sweet !  Thanks Terry !

I'm waiting for delivery of my QB Wings, and QB Fuselage.   Delayed couple extra weeks since Tony Partain's truck was delayed with last delivery to 2 builders in S. Carolina due to hurricane.  

Sigh...  Appears now late Oct.

1 Ton Lift  

I purchased and assembled from Harbor Freight a One Ton Lift, that easily folds up for storage.   I've seen in use by other builders on their published builder's log.   I didn't plan to buy until next year closer to when I'll need it for engine installation, but it was on super sale at only $99.   Since I'm waiting extra couple weeks for QB wings and fuselage delivery via Tony Partain Transport,  it seemed now was the time to set it up.   Works well !
