Looks like there is no adjustment for angle of incidence for the wings. Might be possible to insert shims

Dave,
      I use both the older AeroClub jig and also the Vertigo Jig, I've never used this one. However, after reading the product promo I tend to agree with Propuldude, I like the Vertigo Jig better. As pointed out already it provides for setting the wings angle(s) of incidence and I don't believe the nose / tail supports would hold all that well. Perhaps just a personal preference but my vote is for the Vertigo product. Try Unique Master Models USA, John has it on sale now.
