Wing jig

Hi

Bit of a variation on Tugs jig above.  Fusion 360 to draw up and 3D resin print some jigging pieces.  Can easily print out new jigging pieces for different LE/TE construction.  The actual building board has two 3/4x4” batons screwed, on edge, screwed to the bottom to keep the sheet true.  Not easy to see in pic.

Cheers

Mike

I'm currently building a Brodak Yak-9 OTS kit and have the Brodak wing jig. The wing is 40" long, but the jig aluminum rods are only 36". I found some 8mm OD CF tubes that were 1m long (approx 40") at a local hobby shop that allowed the wing to be built in one piece. It worked quite well.

If I build a longer wing project in the future, I'll find longer 8mm tubes or use some of the alternat jig suggestions noted herein.

My model airframe is complete and ready to start the covering/painting process.
