Default Wing jig

Once it dawned on me that the upper jig support was at the wrong incidence angle I modified it to match the wing as assembled. It is now glued in place.
- With that done I can now slip the jig into place with the wing still on the plane.
- Added some thin shock cords instead of the original rubber bands.
- Pulled the wing assembly out.
- Inserted a vertical piece of a "Lowes" yard stick with small block spacers pressing against the jig to prevent it from slipping out of place. I also slid a wire push rod throught the tab holes to keep it in place.
- Needless to say I also added the wire cross rigging at the wing struts which are not in the picture.

The pictures are self explanatory but your comments would just make it better.
