A 7-foot bench is sufficient for the flaps and tailplane alignment, else not
mandatory, and 2.5 feet wide is OK. But for those steps, I butted together
two smaller benches, unhinged a door to the utility room, set it on top of the
benches, and covered it with thick plastic so as to return it to service
unsoiled with epoxy. Bench space is always handy, of course, but I think
building the plane is more fun than benches!
