    Sorry, I have been laid up awhile with some Agent Orange maladies. I am up and about, so thought I would shoot a picture of all the wing ribs we made on the CW. Next bunch of pics will be of the assembled wings.

    Sorry to hear about your Agent Orange Issues... Glad you are doing BETTER and THANK YOU for your SERVICE !!!!

    This is a really GREAT Project... So what did you end up doing for a sled or carrier board. How did you hold the stuff....?

    I still have not made the Vacuum Jig I want... What I do now is take 3/4 inch double stick tape. Took 6 Stanley replacement blades and with double stick tape, stuck them to pieces of plastic making a 6 wide strip cutter. I SLIT the 3/4 into 6 thin strips that I run the length of my carrier board to hold my small tags.

    More Pictures when you get a chance...

    Thanks,

    AL

    Al, we used a pine 1 x 10 as a sled and used good old masking tape for a hold down. Worked like a champ!

    Al, thanks for the words. It was an honor for me to be allowed to serve my country, all 20 years of it. Here is a wing going together, the jig took awhile to fabricate, but both wings will be done in the next couple of days.
