One of the handiest jig you can have.
I first built this in wood many years ago when I was building a 1/4 scale Blackburn B2 biplane. The jig allowed me to hold the fuselage, level the tailplane, and then work on getting the lower wing, struts, and upper wing at the correct incidence.
A jig for this operation was virtually essential, but instead of making a one off jig I came up with this, fully adjustable one.
The original was made of 25x50mm pine, and plywood, it worked but was bulky, heavy and no something I would present to others.
Now, I'm proud to be able to present this item.
