Empenage - Jigs?

Post by CalKid »

2007 kit - RV 7. Ready to rivet the Hz/Vt Stabs. Do I need to build any jigs?

Nope! No jigging required with match hole kits. I it easier if you build a "V" block, but it's not necessary.

I just did mine on my big bench, worked fine. Pre-punched is wonderful. :)
