Hello Legacy Builders,
   
At the factory builder's workshop, we did not take advantage of
Lancair's alignment jigs to attach the center wing section, horizontal
stabilizer, and close out the vertical stabilizer.  We didn't do this
mainly because the airplane couldn't be crated and shipped to us in that
configuration.  It also made the canopy work easier.
   
We're now setting up the jigs to do these tasks and we're wondering if
anyone who has done these themselves can confirm that we'll be okay
following the construction manual directions exactly.  We don't know of
anyone that has done these tasks on their own -- though we're sure
they're out there.  
   
Any advice for us before we start mixing Hysol -- or even better, before
we bond the jigs to the floor?
   
As an aside, we're also curious if everyone that used the factory jigs
is happy with the results.  We've heard rumors that they were initially
somewhat out of alignment.
   
Thanks,
   
Valin Thorn
