Well my first wing panel is almost done. I'm really liking this wing jig. I like that it sits high off the plans. No wax paper needed. No glue dropped on plans. After the wing frame is assembled, I can keep tools, supplies and what not under the wing assembly. If needed, I can pick the jig table up and rest it against a wall out of the way. Easy to flip the wing over to work on the opposite side. I can even pull the jig from the table and rest it on sawhorses for additional work. I use my welding clamps so the jig does not tip over. BTW, this is a tapered wing with a LE sweep. So far it looks pretty true.

I have the the jig table resting on a small work stool. I sit on a mechanic's seat and work my way around the assembly. So overall a good decision to build this jig. I haven't found anything major that may need changing.

Picture posting has changed. It has been a problem last 2 days. Pictures now attach as images rather than thumbnails as before. I've had to open n confirm my pictures before posting. I hope they fix this problem soon. I have reported the problem.
