Dumb question

[Clarkie]

I am in the process of setting up my shop in the garage with the intention of starting the tail kit in a few weeks. That said, I noticed my garage floor is not level and slopes roughly 2 inches from its high point to the the low point at the garage entrance (intentionally done by builder for water drainage purposes.)

My question is this: Do my building surfaces have to be dead on balls level to build this thing? I was planning on building a few workbenches on casters to have the flexibility to move stuff around as I need to.

Thanks.

Not a problem.
No need for a level work bench to build the empenage.
You can build a wing stand and level it as needed.
The fuse will have to be leveled occasionally but it is done on saw horses.

Thanks! Can't wait to start.

Tom, what are you building?

A prepunched kit like a 10 is not overly critical with this, but an early design like a 3 it is critical to have an accurate jig-----and that can be done on a sloped floor, but it would be subject to needing reriging if you moved it.
