Jigs on the Table

Today I started by gluing the foam to the jigs with small dabs of flox (epoxy mixed with flocked cotton).

You can see the small dabs of flox here.
 While it was curing, I levelled the jig table with a laser level. Then, with strategic hammer taps and chisel nicks, I freed the vertical jigs from their Bondo chains. With the help of my beautiful bride I put the wing assembly on the jig table, bottom side up. After ensuring everything was die straight with the help of my laser level, I used blobs of Bondo to hold the jigs in place. Then I took the top (bottom) of the jigs off.
The wing in all its glory.
 Up next... the spar caps.
