Kirby, how does
"it depends" grab you?
Some swear by jigs but I have never found the need. Generally I will fix in place just enough struts to support the wing (upper or lower, "
it depends") and then feed the rest in when everything is set and secure. For my Farman F40 this was the four centre section struts two either side of the nacelle. In fact it's almost always the centre section struts.
hth but I suppose
"it depends"
ps. All I can say to those who cite the Accademy kits is you must have led a charmed life. Wait until you've tried one of the more limited
limited run kits.
