Is there a standard size/height for these stands? Would some one give me the height to the pivot point that works good and pics would help also? Thanks

I'm curious to know more about your fuselage rotisserie. Have any drawings of that?

Check out the wing stands on project kitfox youtube, I am thinking of building mine like that.

My first thought if I was answering this question, is how tall are you? The wing should end up at a height that is comfortable for you to work on. My wing stands are also adjustable for height, so I set them where I want them. JImChuk

I am 6ft tall and That sounds like a good idea to make them adjustable. Thanks

Two more points - 1. I just noticed that the last two pages in the pdf file were the basic dimensions for the sawhorses I put the fuselage on. 2. I'd recommend that however you mount the wings in whatever rotisserie you use, don't put the rotation point midpoint between the spars. I'll try to remember to measure where the CG is and get another note in tomorrow but centering on the CG will make your life a tad easier. Maybe someone has the answer handy and can weigh in this evening.
