Brief Description:  Built wing alignment jig and moved fuse to paralle

I rarely curse in writing, but today......oh man I hated putting the wing alignment jigs together. The description and plans are SOOOOO poor for such an important part. I love how after you have been told to drill and rivet everything, they say to measure to be sure the jig is exactly the same measurements as your wing! A bit late at that point. Add to that the question of where to measure since the jig has the rear spar at an angle, so you just can't measure and say, OK it is right. I fussed over this of a few hours until I had the bright idea of walking the jig down to Charle's QB fuse and seeing how it fit. Then it all made sense.

After all of that frustration, I moved the fuse off the table and onto two parallel 2" x 2" x 12ft steel bars. The assembly now needs to be levelled and jigged.
