[WWI] aeroclub-models bi-plane assembly jig

[Joel Christy]

For those who are interested here is what it looked like a year ago at the Huddersfield show. I'll stick to cardboard and Bluetac.

Your choice, and I was sceptical too before I used it. I'd previously 
used cardboards profiles, lego, bits of blue-tac and plasticine. Sometimes I 
still do. But sometimes the jig is a godsend. If you can bear the 
long-winded waffle that passes for my writing style, have a glance through 
http://www.internetmodeler.com/2005/december/new-releases/Aeroclub_Jig.php 
. The advantage I've found over traditional or purpose built (a la Lance) 
methods is that for the right sized model you can flip the thing over and 
prop it any way up to help rigging.
