7AC Fuselage Jig For Sale

Post by David R. Mead »

This has been a tough decision, but I'm going to sell this 7 AC Fuselage Jig. This Jig was built by Bill Pancake, all heavy angle iron, and straight and true as you can get. (If you know Bill, you'll have an idea how this was made...he doesn't do anything half-way). It has mounting points for every tube, fitting, and attachment you'll need. We straightened and/or rebuilt 3 airframes on it and I don't think you can get any better. My partner passed away and I just don't have the time for repairing other guy's planes.

The jig comes in three main sections and then has a hundred and one other pieces and hardware. I'll bet it weighs around 1000 - 1500 pounds. It would need to be picked up locally or shipped via truck freight.

If you think you might be seriously interested (If you want to repair one fuselage you wouldn't be interested), let me know and we'll discuss off line.

David,
If you don't come to an agreement with David Johnson, I'd be interested in the jig myself and in any case would appreciate any info you could provide.
Thanks,
Shaw Siglin
