Wing Jig Attachment for Fuselage Jig

[Steve Kocher]

I had posted a reply on one of the other topics about having a wing jig attachment for the fuselage jig produced by George Hamby and sold by Tom Niebuhr.  I received some inquiries about the wing jig, so I am posting some photos of the wing jig attachment. 

I have also included a photo of the Brodak Zero that I am building and currently have in the first coat of silver.  I built the wing using the wing jig attachment.  It was the easiest wing that I have every built.  It came out perfectly straight.

I bought the fuselage jig from Tom Niebuhr a number of years ago.  I bought the wing jig attachment directly from George Hamby.  The fixture is so beautiful that I'm almost afraid to use it for building.  I do cover the base of the jig with wax paper when I am building to protect it.  The jig is very well constructed and will be around to be used long after I'm gone.

That is one beautiful set up.  I am not going ask how much gets for one of those(fuse and wing jig together).  Probably don't have enough in the savings. The Zero is looking good too.

Tom Niebuhr (www.blueskymodels.net) sells the fuselage jig for $165 plus shipping and handling. I received mine from Tom at the Dallas Labor Day contest one year so I didn't have to pay the shipping and handling. I have no idea how much that would be. 

The wing jig attachments were $75.  George Hamby was actually apologizing for the cost, but I pointed out that I planned to use it for 40 or 50 years and then pass it on to another generation of modelers.  By that time, $75 will probably be the price of cup of coffee (at Starbucks, anyway).   

I included a photo of the jig with the fuselage fixtures attached.  I took it directly from the Blue Sky Models web site.
