: That's a pretty good idea, lots easier to measure from a fixed 90
: degree reference point to the frames on each side to insure that
: everything is straight :)

: Of course you could just set the biggest frame in the middle like
: this and then judge the straightness of the other frames off the
: first one, and this frame would add height that the spreader bar
: won't.

: Need a nice computerized lazer level .

Still easier to just do it on a fuselage SOF ala Tom Yost, put on the stringers and plop in a couple frames, measure frame edges to end points and you got it straight.
