Hey Folks,



      I am a 6A builder with wings and tail completed, going to purchase a 

Fuselage kit from another builder and am in need of a Fuselage Jig.  I've 

notice them posted here on the list several times before. Do you know where 

I might find one? I'll be building (at) the Corona Airport in So. Cal.  Anybody 

out there know of one available, give me a shout here or off list (at) 

smirdrv(at)hotmail.com.



     Thanks.

                   R.C.

I'd give you mine, but the shipping would cost more than the material: Home

Depot - approximately $100.  Check the xx Years of the RV-ator to see what

Van has to say about jigs; I fully agree with him.  One of those pretty,

expensive steel jigs is no guarantee of a straight fuselage.  It took half a

day to build the jig Van recommends; my variation is at

http://www.flion.com/rv6a/chap31.htm.  One thing you can't see well in the

photos is that I used drywall screws to assemble it so I could store it more

easily when done.  I also used lag bolts and washers to hold the longerons

in place.  If I were to do anything different, I'd add heavy duty casters to

the legs so I could move the jig around more easily.

Pat,

      Thanks for the reply.  I received a reply from a builder here locally 

who has one available.  Again, Thanks.
