Racking Ailerons and Flaps

[Paul]

For painting all sides of my ailerons and flaps I assembled a very simple rack.
- Vertical 2 x 4's with holes drilled every 6".
- Cut the 2 x 4's to friction fit between floor and ceiling in my garage/paint booth.
- Then spaced the vertical stands to suit the length of the flaps and ailerons.
- positioned the surfaces level between the stands and inserted 6" spikes through stands into the ends of the surfaces.

This allowed me to paint both sides at once. I could also swivel the surfaces on the nails and prop them up to get at the ends.

And the same racking worked for my struts
