So tonight I used the Bullock Method for wing jacks to support the spars from sagging on the stand.  The Bullock Method, as I’ve named it, is pretty simple.  A couple blocks of wood and a long bolt make a very quick and effective adjustable jack stand.  I refuse to buy stuff if I don’t need it, and this was no exception.  I had most of the hardware laying around including the wood. Its even easier if you have your dog do the work!20131028-194344.jpg

Here is the result. 20131028-194356.jpgFinally, I ordered some parts from Van’s Aircraft.  I bought the replacement parts for the tie down brackets I messed up, 50′ of conduit, and the proper screw eyes for the tie downs.  Hopefully it will arrive before the weekend.
