REFLECTOR: Paint jigs revised and corrected

[Terry Miles]

Hi Andy,

I was in the rush to get out the house on that first post with the jig
pics.  I failed to include these pertinent points.  The jig will also
need something to jam up into the lip of the root end of the wing.  That
support, in my case was an old haogen flood tripod.  It did not carry
any weight.  Nor does the paint bucket, but both did have a few pounds.
The real load was across the aileron well.  In fact I would consider
using the three 1 x 2 uprights and then string a cap across them to have
support across the whole span rather then just trying to target the hard
points.

Also to rotate the wing on to the jig: but sure to have three strong
people.  Have the wing root position guy wear leather gloves, as it
rotates, his hand holds become sharp edges, and it may take a few trial
runs to get things to your likeing.

Hope this helps.
Terry

Hey Terry,

All this talk of paint.  How about some pictures?  ;)
