Cutting and Shimming the Jig

By Herb Haught

Enlarge the picture to see the laser beam on top of each of the fuselage supports

I decided to go ahead and start from scratch on the leveling of the jig. So I removed the fuselage and then cut the legs and shimmed to get level both directions. I also went ahead and glued the jig to the floor with epoxy.



After the epoxy exercise I went back and checked for level again, used three different levels and all agreed. So I went ahead and started positioning the fuselage back on the jig. At this point I have everything back on but only the firewall bulkhead and the instrument panel bulkhead in their final positions.
