I have wing stands suitable for building your wings that I would be glad to
loan, when you are done loan them to someone else. I am located in Oregon
and the stands are at my hanger in McMinnville (MMV) Can send pitcures to
your e-mail.

Hello, Joe:
You don't need a jig for wing building. The drawings will have instructions
for building something better.
For the wings just drop two vertical 4 x 4 posts from the ceiling, after
assembling the frame (spar plus ribs) on a work table attach the thing to
the uprights, use a 1 1/2" plastic drain pipe (with a screw coupling for
adjustment) to prevent sag in the middle. Finish the wing (leading edge
pointing up, at chest height).
For the tanks build a jig out of a couple of short pieces of 2 x 4's and a
couple of pieces of 5/8" sawdust board. Use one of the tank ribs to cut out
an opening in each sawdust board. Screw each board to its 2x4. Insert the
tank skin into the two jigs sitting on the work table. Insert the ribs,
etc. into the skins. Build the tanks. Keep the wing in its jig so you can
easily fit the tank to the leading edge of the wing.
Works well - - wait for the drawings. You will understand.

I am interested in eventually building an RV9. I'd like to partner up with a New
York metro area builder and maybe assist in exchange for some experience.
If you know of a builder in the area, please let me know.

Joe,
My wing kit ships next week, A fellow local RV club member used two engine
stands from Harbor Freight (49.95 each).
I am doing the same and found there is need for some engineering to get an
acceptable height to work from.
But it makes for a very nice wheel around unit.
Good luck
