skip the jacks and get a tool cart to move your tools around with you
bench top drill press, cordless drill, files, basic tool set of wrenches, screwdrivers, socket set, riveter, friends to help
also get some benches. i use the folding plastic tables and solid core doors on sawhorses.
I made "airplane casters" out of three pieces of 18"x18" 3x4" plywood with office chair casters on each corner. I can fold the wings up and roll the whole airplane around the barn with ease. One thing I did add was a little wheel chock for the mains and a slot for the tail wheel tire to fall into.

Eric, a 90 degree drill will come in handy a lot. You will need a torque wrench that goes down to 10 INCH pounds. I got a nice bend style one on Amazon at a reasonable price. You will also need a torque wrench to go in the 20 to 60 foot pound range. A dremel will be handy too
Canadian tire has good blue metal folding saw horses. They go one sale about twice a year for 10 bucks regular 50. Snatch up at least 6 of them.
Harbor freight has furniture moving dollies for $11. i have a few of them that have been under everything from race cars to engines to airplanes.

Mine are 20 years old and they don't look like that anymore. I upgraded the casters on one of mine so I could moved around a 302 Ford engine.
I like how the front tires fit them perfectly. I may have to pick up two more.
Do you simply lift one wing at a time to slide them in?
Lifting a wing would work but my wings have to be folded to get into my shop.
Here's photos of the process in Post #17.
