|
|
Needed a way to flip the wing over, so. . .
Got a 14 foot long piece of 3" SCH 40 PVC and rigged up a block & tackle to raise and flip the wing. The PVC fits right through the lightening holes and the block & tackle is a bicycle lift (has a brake to hold the height) that wasn't being used. The wing turns real easy but needs a counter balance to level it out for lowering / raising. Can be done by one man now.
