I'm referring to supporting the entire wing with the spar "on it's flat
side" - 90 deg to the normal operating orientation (as the wing was
rotated around for painting). At only 1" thick or so, I was wondering if
there is a problem with concentrated bending moments on the spar at the
face of the first wing rib.
Still curious,
Pete

Hi! Pete.
I would expect they would carry far more weight and stress in flight
pulling
4.8 G be long or short wing, but I'm not the leading authority !

Clamping them together sounds like a neat idea - but a question from the
'newbie': Can the spars support the weight of the wing with the
leading-edge down/up without any damage/problems? If it's acceptable to
do this with the short wings, I assume doing so with the long wings
would be out of the question?
Cheers & thanks,

Hi! Paul.
Can't remember what my RAF painter did but HE had room to pin and clamp
the
two spa's together, set them on THREE tressles in diving mode!(You need
THREE to handle the overturning moment of the dihedral. If they are
nicely
clear of the floor he can do the leading edge OK then the trailing edge
from
above stood on a beer crate or steps. That way you don't need to turn
them
OR touch the tips.
