Anybody have this kit and can tell me which hole position on the Brodak wing jig are used for the ribs ??? Thanks !! I have a home made jig set up for the next to the widest holes on the Brodak jig. Just wondering if these will work or do I need to make a new one. Thought I'd get a jump on it since my kit won't get here for several days.

Leester,
Hmmm. I was curious about your question since the profile Oriental I have framed up didn't use a wing jig. I just looked at the wing (refresher training) and can tell you that one the older, non-laser kit there are twin slots on both the left and right side ribs. Not really suitable for a rod-type jig in my opinion.
The latest ones according to the Brodak website are laser cut and may be different--set up to use rods. Either way, you can build it straight if you have a flat surface and a rear spar shim.
Maybe someone who has the laser cut version will chime in...?

Dave, the lazer cut kits now have holes for the wing jig. The leveling bar system does work well but I prefer the jig system. Thanks

Good to know. Thanks, Lee

Received the kit today And one of my jigs matched the pattern so I'm all set.
