Wing removal

[Blueadventures]

Found using a forklift with wing on a mattress was perfect for removal and refitting wings. The springiness of the mattress allows for small movements to allow removal and refit into attachments.  Then when inboard is connected use a jack to support to fit struts. Doing the 2,000 hourly wing bolts and some other things. New motor to go in next on this A32. First wing removed with 3 people, owner thought up using forklift and it's a winner.

I’ll be using same when I do my Nynja wing upgrade in a few weeks.

you can never have too many foam mattresses when your dealing with wings.

I always like total control and help that don't get tired with wing removal. At work we have a platform with two screw Jack's for Cessnas or a height adjustable hospital bed for low wings. Even light wings get heavy very quickly.

Wings sometimes just have to be forklifted. It's not pleasant, in fact it's generally quite unpalletable.

A stepladder with a cushion on it would be more appropriate..  Nev
