Be careful doing this.  I ended up with some "dents" in the under side of my
wings.  I think that might have been where they came from.  I did a sloppy
job of padding my sawhorses. (used blue foam)

the gear is not as simple any more.  I was wondering what the best practices
are out there.  My current thinking is to make up some saw horses with the
top sloping equal to the wing dihedral and placing them right under the
spars.  Padded of course.
