Default Fuselage Jig

Any suggestions on a good fuselage jig that is easy to use? Also where I could find it too would be nice.

Darn you Rog!!!!! I had that site and was going to post it but then the power went out! But I have another. [link=http://www.gatorrc.com/gator/jig%20station.htm]fuse jig[/link]
This one is pre-built but probably more expensive.

I built the one in post 2, it worked well. It took about two hours to build, another hour at home depot to choose hardware.

Thanks guys, I will probably see how much the wood and stuff to make the fuse jig costs versus the premade one. If the home built one is only slightly cheaper may just be easier to buy the premade one

Consider also a magnetic board.

Cafeenman has done a great job on the subject.

See his mag board at

Tower also sells the components for a magnetic board, but I never tried it.

I've built a magnetic system using Cafeenman's site as a guide. I'll tell you this much, I'll never push another pin as long as I live. I love the magnetic system. It pushes your building to an entirely different level. But with that said, I will also say that it's not for everybody. It's a bit expensive, so if you're not 100% sure you're going to stay in the hobby it may not be for you.

Steer clear of the GP system. IMHO it's too expensive for the small amount of fixtures that you get with it.
