Ah. True. I used wood sawhorses that have already supported the weight of the shipping box for the wings. So, if they were going to settle they would have done it by now. I don't want to jeapordize the overall stability but given the weight of everything up to the wing, the beams have been fine.

<p>This might be a cheap way to make a work table but- it sounds like you are using plastic saw horses - I had them for supports under my fuselage- a few days later rechecked and wondered why the fuselage was still not level- the sawhorse legs will spread from the weight and change everything. I then purchased steel saw horses with my steel tubing supports.</p>

Easy to add a piece of plywood underneath or over posts so you can still have a place to sit things.
