Left jig becomes a wing cart
Hours: 2.9 | Posted in WingsI know, the plans say to build this before building the wings, but I didn’ have room for two jigs and a cart. No problem to build this after the fact, using a paper tracing of a leading-edge rib (the need to have the rib shape is the only reason I can see that this would need to be done before wing construction). I took the left wing out of its jig, then modified the jig to make the cart; shortening the length to 9′, the width to 3′, and removing the uprights. The upright beams are replaced with plywood panels (recycled from the fuselage crate lid)–one end has a cutout to recieve the leading edge, the other end has a cutout to hold the spar root. Need to pick up some wheels to bolt on the bottom, but other than that, it’s ready to go.
