Have you thought about some simple tooling a kit buyer could rent for
putting togther critical assemblies (wing to fusrelage, tail *asembly,
etc.).


Absolutely, I think about that a lot. What I'm trying to do is develop
"self-jigging" assemblies so that critical alignment elements are
already fixed into position, and you can use those elements to fix the
locations of related components.

But having a library of a few "iron bird" tools would be good too,
especially for things like aligning the horizontal stabilizer and
installing the wing carrythroughs.

Thanks, Bob K.
