Weight of a Wing ?

[kmach]

Hi,
Does anyone know the weight for a single completed model 7 wing ?

I'm estimating 200 lbs for a single finished wing.

I'd estimate 75 pounds at most, with a flapperons and lift strut attached.

I'd agree with about 75lbs at most. I have moved a lot of wings around lately and they don't weigh much but akward to handle by yourself.
Curious why your wondering about weight?

Doesn't weigh anything while flying,

I'm going to be replacing the lift strut to wingspar rod end bearings . I don't plan on removing the entire wing and am making a wing support for outboard of the spar attach points. The spar to fuselage carry through tube pins will remain in place during this switch. I think I will be removing the lift and jury strut.

So trying to figure out how substantial of a support I require.

I used my head a few times when adjusting for washout.

I estimate my model 4 wings weigh less than 50 pounds each. I use a 1 X 4 with a piece of foam stapled to one end to prop up a wing tip when removing a strut. I have a helper stand there and hold it just to be sure nothing slips.

I have used a 6 foot step ladder on my old plane. I am not sure if your Kitfox would be a similar height or not. Use a 2X4 with some foam for padding as a rest and support on the top of the step ladder.
Good Luck

I made two home made under hoist jack stands . Each can hold me + . They are connected at top with a 2x4. I think I have it cased. Just wanted to confirm the weight involved of one wing. To make me feel warm and fuzzy before doing the swap.

In my case i have rafters in the garage that i tied rope to and looped under the outboard wing with foam in between the rope and wing.

My wings are off my model 7SS at this time so it was easy to weigh them.
52 lbs each.

A good friend lent me his adjustable wing stands. While they look a little flimsy they were more than enough to support the wing
