Since most of the wing's part are done, it's time to think about the jig. Looking at the plan from Sonerai, there is different versions. If we look at the wing manual, the plan seem to be for the S2 but I have the Scale 1 plan that come with the S1 plan.
To make it square and strong, with the help of Pierre, I decided to fix the jig on the hangar wall. Also, it was decided to make the frame with 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 steel angle bar. Compared to the wood that Sonerai suggest, if it take me too long before I start the wing, the steel bar will not twist like the wood could do.
The base of the jig is fixed to the floor with high load glue. The frame is assembled with screw and bolt so, when time come to remove the jig of the hangar, it can be stowed for futur use.
Once the frame is done, after a 24h period to let the glue dry, I made the block support. These blocks are used to support the wing. Two support have a 2in hole. These hole are used for a 1 1/2 plumb tube that will guide the ribs during the installation on the spar.
The jig is now completed, next step is to complete the Main Spar with the Cap Strip and then rivet it and rivet the Rear Spar to the Cap Strip.
