I just wanted to bounce a question off the list to make sure I'm doing this

right before I proceed.



I'm just about ready to bond the stub wings to my 360 MKII.  The manual

recommends using the wing jig to get everything lined up.  Originally, I

thought I could skip this since I have a SFB kit and could use the wing

itself as a guide.  On my last test fit, I realized the BL-50 rib is a bit

low on the aft side and if I bonded the stub wing to this rib, my stub wing

wouldn't line up with the wing.  So maybe those instructions are right.

I'll use the jig to get the correct wing shape and I should be golden at

that point.  Ok, off to make a jig.



I went through the various blueprints and drawings that I have.  The closest

I can find to get the BL-50 wing shape is that there is one blueprint that

is the full rib for BL-50. (As opposed to another blueprint for the two rib

pieces that actually are in BL-50 so that the spar fits)  Am I correct in

assuming that the jig will just be the opposite of this blueprint?  The

manual makes references to a level line on the BL-50 jig--the closest is the

level line through the rib on the drawing. It's not quite the right place,

but I think I can make it work.



The reason I ask is that the MKII horizontal stab includes drawings to build

the cradle for the stab.  I just want to make sure I'm not missing something

before I try fitting everything together with the jig. I don't have any

equivalent drawings for building the wing jig.  I don't know if the

blueprint with the full rib compensates for the added thickness of the wing

skin. (Or if that matters?)



Thanks!
