This build thread will use the Iron Dog Air Racing, Scale P-51 “Speed Wing” short-kit as an example of building using a wing jig. I want to thank Tim Stafford (of 8th-Scale Aviation) for all his help with the CAD work that made this design a reality.


Packaged Short-kit balsa and ply laser-cut pieces


Built and Solartex-covered initial prototype, built as the clipped-wing version.



"Galloping Ghost" fuse sitting on completed wing.


The next few posts will be initial setup questions primarily unique to this design. For those just curious about building with a wing-jig (not as specifically to this kit) please bear with me.
