Manual Reference:  W3
Brief Description:  Airfoil Jig

Plans:
1. Continue painting the "N" struts.
Status: I used some 400 grit sandpaper on the previously painted struts to remove the runs. Some touch up painting followed.
2. Build airfoil jig:
Status: The kit comes with a template for each airfoil shape and a jig to bend the tubing. Only one jig template is provided so I expect it to work for both wings. Making the jig is a simple matter of pasting the template to plywood and cutting it out on the band saw.
3. Change sump drain to flex tube.
Status: I was concerned that the previous drain setup was at risk of shearing the sump fitting in the event of a hard landing. I decided to change the original brass rigid extension tube to a flexible fuel line. Should a hard landing happen the line will flex with the hit as opposed to the sump.
