Wing jig question for friend
This guy who is requesting my help to build a PT-40, as I have built two of them, e-mailed me this:
(quote) “Can’t use the two 2.5” washout jigs because of bench size. What I am going to do is double the washout jig size leave half of one wing flat and hanging over one end of the bench and place the modified 5” washout jig on the other wing tip. I will then sheet the wing with the washout jig then move the jig to the other wing half and sheet that one (filled some sox with sand to hold everything in place).”
My e-mailed response back to him.
(quote) “Please do not do that with the washout jig until I write to rcuniverse and see if it will ruin your wing. They are more professional about washout than I am, I do not really know about it at all.
Isn't there a level floor you can use somewhere for a few hours that no one will bother it? It would be much better to use the jigs as they are. I do not believe that just raising one wing panel up off the bench will put in any needed washout. I hope it is not too late to persuade you, and you didn't already cut up the jigs.”
Can I please get some response to this situation that I can email back to him. Thank you.
