While a jig is not needed, it is highly recommended that the various
empennage structures (HS, VS, Rudder, Elevators) be secured in some type of
cradle(s) for some of the operations. I learned the hard way while drilling
a hole in the Horizontal Stabilizer assembly one night. The assembly
slipped and the resulting hole was oval instead of round. I promptly made
two cradles of particle board in TEE configuration with some pipe insulation
added for padding.
The cradles also help to save worktable space.
Just my opinion...
Don

Very good news from Van's. I asked them about the need for the extensive jig
that builders have been using for the tail kits.
Probably 15 hours saved right there!

Frank,
You are the recipient of modern technology. The prepunched tail
kits need no jigs. Just follow the instructions in the manual.
