My Glasair wing probably weighs over two-hundred pounds and I loaded
another 3-400 on it at closing. The keys to it are building per the plans
and using lag screws (approx 1/2 dia by 4" long) to secure the main
structure. The wing rests on a dozen 1/2in plywood cradles that sit on the
main structure. This way you can shim those as needed.

My first attempt at the jig involved wood screws -- woefully inadequate.
Carpenter, I am not...
