RV-4 Fuselage Jig

I am picking up a partial build kit next week and trying to get a head of the game. Wings, Tail, Rudder, Ailerons, and Flaps are done. I just need to complete the fuselage.

Have 2" X 6' angle Iron in abundance, along with wood - 2 X 4's.

What are the dimensions? How do I build it? Any help for a newby would be appreciated.

Thank You,

A plan sheet for the jig for an RV4. Just give them a call.

RV-4 Fuselage Jig Available north of Seattle

Hi,

I'm done with my jig and it's available free to anybody who wants to pick it up. It's been used on 2 or 3 RV-4's (including mine).

Interesting note: the builder locations so far were Marysville OH and Marysville WA. I won't require the next builder be based in Marysville XX, but it would be kinda neat

I'll pick up the plans with the plane.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm picking up the plane this week and did not know if the jig plan sheet was included.

Thank You,

I purchased some 3/4" plywood and ripped it down to 6" widths and then constructed the jig out of the plywood (I doubled the plywood to make it 1 1/2" thick using a lot of screws and glue). It was straight and true. My fuse. came out perfect and I gave the jig to another builder who built his plane on it. I bet it is still in circulation.
