A couple of moving dollies, one large and one small were components of a dolly to prepare for painting and final sanding of the wings. Propping a couple of 1x2 with the ends trimmed, into the wing bolt holes helps steady the wing. Some dense cardboard protects the winglet tip. The outboard end will be raised up higher when painting. I added another brace from the large dolly to the long 2x4. The large dolly has a 2'x2' piece of plywood. The smaller dolly has a piece trimmed to match the slope of the rudder cavity.
This dolly is fine to roll around on smooth surface when the wind isn't blowing. If moving over rough surface and the wind is blowing, it could get tipped. Might need some out riggers and straps if it is being moved on a rough surface. The long 1x2's can be pulled during painting.
