Today I created the jigs for Chapter 5. I’m treating chapters 4, 5, and 6 as one big chapter, so this is somewhat out of order. I’m currently waiting on some back-ordered materials from Aircraft Spruce, so this is all I can do right now. Hopefully some foam and glass will arrive soon.

I made this jig out of some scrap 1×8 pine and plywood I had leftover from some shelves. I used plywood on the ground instead of just fastening the jigs to my table, as suggested in the plans, because I have a big empty spot in my shop where the plane will eventually go, and I didn’t feel like starting my project by poking a bunch of holes in my nice new table!

My longeron jig fastened to a piece of plywood. Will support the ends with more plywood if necessary during the layup
