Title: Building jigs. w/pic.
Post by: Allen Goff on September 25, 2008, 03:22:04 PM
I know there are many ways to jig up a wing or fuse. I have used Bob Hunts jig, and I own one made by Byron Barker, and both worked fine. But I borrowed one from my friend Roger Wildman and liked it so, I bought one for myself. I really love this jig, easy to store when I'm not using it, and the grid pattern on the serfuse keeps things aligned. You can clamp down the parts, no need to put weights on the constrution to hold it down, as it is metal with magnetic jigs. Maybe this jig is nothing new to a many of you, but somehow I was asleep when this thing came out. It does cost around $100, but as I see it, whats the value of a straight wing or fuse? Here is a picture just in case you have never seen one before.

Wynn; This one is made by Great Planes, and I just got it last year, so I'm sure they still have them. Most hobby stores that have R/C stuff orders from Great Planes. Or you can probably check em out on the web.
