| pfinn | Jetco Dayton-Wright RB-1 | Build | 27-Jan-11 11:39 |  | | Views : 2259 | | The jig has bulkhead positions marked on the side walls. I used pins to help easily locate tthe bulkheads. Again, double stick tape is used to secure the cross members to the fixture. Other builders use rubber bands to do this using a row of small brads near the base in which to hook the bands to.The 2" offset marks line up with the edge of the fixture so all of the formers line up correctly. |
| pfinn | Jetco Dayton-Wright RB-1 | Build | 27-Jan-11 11:30 |  | | Views : 1017 | | I'm using the fuse jig with a "Top/Bottom" orientation. A temporary cross member adhered to each bulkhead flush (or parallel) to the waist keel formers. I've seen builders tack glue these cross members then use a solvent to remove them later. I used my Super Dilly Delux double stick tape instead. I've marked centerline and 2' offset on the cross members for alignment on the fixture. |
