These photos provide the details associates with the construction of the slow build wing of the Vans 9A.
Well when the wings arrived with the full size drawings and the wing spars I discovered that the drawing indicated that the posts for the wing supports should be approximately 133 inches. Prior to the wings arriving, I looked at the 11X17 drawings in the preview plans and thought the distance was 13'3" (159 inches). Well this changed everything. I concluded that I could now build both wings at the same time. However, it meant that I would need to totally rearrange the layout in my workroom. So I spent a number of hours re-arranging things. I also had to purchase a few more 4X4s and associated hardware.
