Using RV-8 Fuse Jig for RV-3B

[Chris Santschi]

Does any body see a problem in using a RV8 fuselage jig for the RV3B? 7in wider and 33 in longer. Hate to waste anything..

You'll of course have to place the cross-pieces in different places to get the bulkheads at the right stations, and you'll want to remove the old ones to allow room to snake up through them...but I don't see any problem with using the long frame members as a base.
