I've got a SRAM jig, but I need another jig as I've usually got more than one biplane on the go.

So I've ordered one. At £30 delivered, it seems reasonably priced and looks a bit more sturdy than the SRAM jig.

Post by: Des on June 07, 2015, 11:41:02 AM: Looking at the jig on their web site it appears to be very well made and should be plenty strong enough (won't hold the Felixstowe though :o) but for the multitude of single and two seat 1:32 scale models available it will come in very handy.

Post by: jknaus on June 08, 2015, 02:02:08 AM: Hopefully it is better packed than before. Mine arrived cracked on the base. Wish I had of waited for the free shipping as I had to pay shipping and VAT even though not from the EU.
I'll leave it at that.

Post by: torsion on June 08, 2015, 03:31:05 AM: Mr.Knaus,

theme VAT issue was thoroughly discussed and an explanation....spare part was sent to a jig still operates without problem one year...and how to work carriers can not influence...last week I order new package boxes for this product....and in your country canceled postage when you order goods?... ;)

Title: Re: Jig for biplane models all scales
Post by: Ssasho0 on June 08, 2015, 11:08:25 PM: I got it last week and it is a good jig as fas as I can say, but it comes with few minor, imho, issues!
First the jig comes rather "in-a-bag", then in a box:) not a big issue as far as all parts are there and are undamaged! My jig was OK, but I got one part left in the end and I'm not quite sure if it was there on purpose or by mistake!
Second, few parts intend to be glued and there is no type of glue reccomendation in the instruction. This is not a problem, I used CA glue and it seems OK, but what if after a while it brakes and damages a future project of mine? I prefer all parts to be assembled by screws and nuts, especially when I don't know what kind of glue I should use.
Third, the instruction is not clear enough, but who reads instructions anyway?!

All those are minor issues and in the end the jig is good for what it is intended to be used - building biplanes! Regarding the size - a 1:48 Salmson fits on nearly the smalles settings possible, the scouts will really be on the smallest possible settings, thats for sure. Probably a/c as big as a Gotha will fit perfectly, not sure for the Felixstowe.

Here is a picture of the whole thing "in-use" even thou I put the whole plane on the upper position for easier access. The upper wing is already glued and rigging is on its way

Post by: torsion on June 08, 2015, 11:17:27 PM: hello....yes this is problem, but you feedback will help to improve our product.... recomended glue is: Loctite super atack...

TO ALL!!l : all parts have protective foil, before assembling you must remove this foil, and after remofe using glue...in the picture all blue parts have protective foil !!!

Sorry SsashO !

Post by: Ssasho0 on June 08, 2015, 11:32:31 PM: So I will have to dissassembe and remove the foil - you better inlude this information into the instruction!
Title: Re: Jig for biplane models all scales
Post by: radio on June 12, 2015, 05:54:45 AM: Just order the jig.

Post by: skeeterbuck on September 02, 2015, 10:41:58 PM: Just ordered the jig for 1/48 scale. Hope it works well for me. :-\

Also, can't understand why it charged me tax even though I don't live in Czech Republic. ???

Good point - the plastic is so very smooth that it's difficult to know that it is a plastic covering.

It's not easy to remove, it took me longer to peel than it did to put the thing together.

Well worth it in the end though, very solid indeed.

Post by: coyotemagic on September 18, 2015, 12:46:36 PM: Ordered mine on the 2nd. Hopefully it'll be here soon. I need it to finish up my W.12.
Cheers,

Post by: Ssasho0 on September 18, 2015, 08:11:15 PM: I'm using my jig for few months already and it is wonderfull! I reccomend it to everyone - just don't forget to remove the foil (unlike me)
Title: Re: Jig for biplane models all scales
Post by: skeeterbuck on September 18, 2015, 08:50:47 PM: I received an email this morning indicating my order has been processed. An FYI for any members that may have recently ordered a jig. Pavol from Vertigo indicated that he had a short stay in the hospital but is out now so hopefully we'll see our jigs soon.

Ssasho, it's good to hear that the jig is working out well for you. I'm hoping I have the same results. And...I'll be sure to remove the foil/film before I start assembly. ;)
