I’ve been fighting off a moderate case of the flu, but couldn’t resist finishing the wing cradle. I’m very ready to get the wings out of the jig!

There’s really nothing too complex about constructing the cradle, I followed Vans’ plans and everything worked fine. I won’t bore you with a lot of in-process photos, but here’s an end shot of the cradle before installing the casters that Captain John was kind enough to salvage for me…

…and the inboard end, similarly equipped. Had to finish here, because it’s Valentines Day and there are gifts to be purchased.
