Brett Green from Hyperscale.com has some pics of Aeroclub's new biplane jig here



Btw, anyone knows how much it could possibly cost?

In just starting to play with this thing my first thoughts are concern over my finish on the wings. I am building an Albatros and it has lozenge on the wings.In my concern I have lined the brass edges of the wingsupports with masking tape to avoid scratches.If you are trying to find one ...try calling MARK at AVIATION WORLD in Toronto,Canada. This is North Americas largest aviation bookstore and they also have a kickin' WWI selection of models and aftermarket goodies.Mark is a diehard stick and fabric guy,not to mention armour too.He would probably have the means to get you one if he doesnt have some already .tell him I sent ya!
