hanger space where I keep my LE is tight,so the eagle has to be hung from the rafters,also a way to find the CG.

That's a great idea.  Do you have any specifics about the spreader bar and fittings required for such an arrangement? Maybe more pictures?

I made my wing fittings like the XL,separate bolts for each wing. Made a .040 tab with 5/16 coupling nut welded in center at each wing attach  point,the spreader is just square tube with a larger size for the lift point that you adjust to lift at center of gravity
