Wing Rotisserie

[Helicopter D]

Besides the cost, do any of you have experience or opinions on the wing rotisserie that Wag sells? I already have one wing done thru silver, but I'm hoping there is a better and easier way and I also need to be able to paint top and bottom the same day to keep from backing up our paint booth.

I have about $50 into mine...including steel. 3/4 inch square tubing, passed through the slip roll for the ring, and the rest is scrap and bolts that were laying around the shop.. It works great, but takes a few hours to build.


Chuck Avon bought an engine stand from Harbor Freight, and did just a little modifying and it seems to be a good setup... maybe he will post some pictures of it.
At any rate, I'd say you could come up with something equal or better than what they sell, for less money, by investing just a little time.
