Hello, I'm once again soliciting for advice on the wing removal process. This question concerns supporting the wing (particularly the top wing) during removal/installation. An airport bum told me that when he was working on his old Pitts, he had to be careful when handling the top wing because it could break under its own weight. Is this true for the wings on the Skybolt?
Also, is there a particular order to follow for removing components - will everything be a-o-k if I gradually de-tension the wires, remove the bottom wings, remove the struts, then remove the top wing? Or do I need to come up with a way to support the top wing while I de-tension the wires and remove the bottom wing?
Thanks in advance!
