Bluejay Kits
 
Was reading description of Killer Kaos at [link]http://www.bridiairplanes.com/hangar/killerchaos60.html[/link]. It described the ribs as having predrilled holes for use in a wing jig.
I have built several kits including the tower version of the 40 size kaos. All these have been built flat on the plans. Is a wing jig something I should look into getting? The arf industry has about ruined the hobby
for me, but I love old pattern ships and will devote my time to this area. I'm sure some of the constuction techniques are different from what I'm used to, wing jig being one of them.
Thanks
Steve

It should buil just fine nice and straight just flat on the board, jig just helps keep every thing inline

I do not feel using a jig is cheating. I think it is a good idea to use/invent anything that helps a straight build. It is all a part of the fun.

I use both methods and am finding I like them both the same.
