: I use my strongback as above for any of my fuselage SOF's. I build
: them basically like a stripper and mount all the bulkheads/forms
: on the SB by clamping them to plywood offcuts. If they're
: aligned correctly the stringers just plop into place, all nicely
: aligned. Does it take more work? Maybe a little bit initially
: but I end up with more consistent chines and a hull that is
: fair.

Could also be done basically like Tom does it just inverted. You'd have to jig the largest middle frame and the end frames to set the rocker, other frames then could just be fitted in after the stringers and the three jigged frames were in place. Would be much faster than having to jig every frame.
