looks like a great product? I am going to eventually buy one, what are most of you useing and why? the lego thing seems to lack since you cannot clamp the wings? I think I will use the money I would have used for legos towards the sram jig and the huge euro shipping fee

ok.....west coast hobbies is a canadian importer for the sram jig, he quoted me $41.00 with shipping however he has a very unusual way of accepting payment that makes me rather nervous or he has been ripped off way too many time, PAYPAL? or bank cashiers check, no way to order with credit card or paypal on his website there is no paypal software on the west coast hobby site I am checking out victory models out of Texas however they say the jig is out of stock, a very exotic item this is I am determined to have this item to continue my quest of building the elusive biplane model Euro web shops may be the only reasonably safe way of ordering?

Hannants in the UK carry it and postage out of the UK is reasonable even to Australia.

I searched through 5 pages of yahoo results and did not find hannants.I just purchased the jig for for about $37.00, only problem is the have minimium orders for shipping outside England, so I bought a nice hasegawa 1/48 Oscar that was nicely discounted....thanks so much

I have been buying stuff from Hannants for years. Looks like I may have to get my jig from there as well.

I use Google when I search for stuff, maybe that is the problem..

Always happy to be of assistance Effendi.

I'm glad you were able to locate one at a good price .

Yes warren you can use it on some 32 scale depending on the wing span . Your safe to go
