Default Wing jig

Hi builders,

Ok... I know this is a recurrent topic. But I am about to start the wings, I already have the kit at home.

The procedure tells me to build the wing jig according to van's workbook...hmmm... I must be blind, I cannot find it.

I searched this forum without luck.

Someone must have a plan with dimensions to build that jig? Please?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

The wing jig is shown in drawing 12A. Depending on your build location, you may have to customize it further to make it work. Google other builder sites for reference too.

Like he said. Lots of variations. I built a set of steel jigs. My mentor built a nice set of 4x4. Use your imagination and built what works for you. Make sure you have at lesst 3' either side and in between to work.
