Wing Jig

The old wing jig was in sad shape. After moving twice it was in need of repair. I started by making new templates for the underside of the wing.

There are nine station that make up the jig. The lines running across the templates are to ensure everything is level. I made all of the pieces out of left over plywood from other projects.
