I understand that the right and left wing jigs used to be part of the 601XL kits. Is there anyone who has a set in good shape that would be willing to lend or rent them to me? Of course I would pay for shipping both ways.
Feel free to contact me direct at larrywinger(at)gmail.com.
Thanks.

hmmm, Larry, the wing jigs are still part of the XL kit as far as I know. That is if you are talking about the jigs that reference the spar to the rear spar.

When I called Nick today, I understood him to say that the new kits would not include them because of the CNC side skins that take the guess work out of the alignment process. It is also possible that he was talking about what they are considering, and not yet doing.

Not sure how CNC is going to alleviate the need for the jig. The jig sets the level of the rear spar to the main spar and the fuse. If your fuselage is not jigged level, then it alignment is going to be wrong regardless of the CNC drilling.
My opinion anyway.
I can send you mine when I am done if you dont get any other respondents that are closer.

We have just got to the stage of using the wing jig. We have a new kit Arrived 7th march 2008) with the pre drilled skins. The jig that was supplied with the kit was different size to the main spar that was supplied. There fore the holes did not line up. I contacted Zenith and was told that i did not need to use the jig because the floor skin was pre drilled. All that was required is to use the ply templates to set the angle.

After using the jig and the PP kit, I can confirm that everything lines up. The jig did help set the exact position of the rear spar attachments so that they are level as per the instructions. I am not sure you could do the location without it.
Having said that my kit is a year old and they may have updated the PP

Paul,
As it turns out, I just decided to build my own wing jigs from scratch, and have already made some good progress. Thanks again for the offer.
