Seems that they are the only ones selling it. And they are sold out.

They recently had a small batch ready to go and I ordered one. Took about a week to get here (St. Louis). Look forward to using it!

I probably need to keep looking on weekly basis, every time I check the jig is out of stock.

Thank you for your replies.

Flanker I know several modelers that use children's lego blocks for excellent jig results.

Yes Stephen I know. I just have a couple of spare money that is itching

.

In addition I'm in a power strugle with my 2 year old baby girl, everytime she sees me using her legos

she complains about it and I don't have too much arguments trying to explain her not to play with daddy's airplanes if I keep plying with her legos, I think she has a point.

I emailed them to inquire when they would have one again to let them know I wanted it and was waiting to pay for it. They were pretty fast in responding and promised to contact me as soon as it was available to order. I got it rather quickly. Seeing how your dealing overseas. They very good about it and it might help expedite your order.

It comes as a thick Flat Brass PE Fret & bag of Nuts and screws for the fittings. It has an instruction sheet which shows you how to cut out fold and mount/fix to a building board the different pieces. Some of them can be used in different ways on different type ACFT to secure them in different ways while it holds the whole thing steady while you attach all the major pieces.

We've all used Legos, Books, Scap Wood Blocks, Strya-foam, Tape, paint jars, etc, Yes it can be done.

THis one is nice though because it also has graduated markings which allow you to more quickly and easily precisely set both sides the diahedral and or Stagger at the same time.

I haven't tried it out on a Kit just yet, but I think I am about to very soon.

Hey Mike,

I also e-mailed them and they answer back as you said, unfortunately after a couple of months they never advised about availability. Yesterday night I e-mailed them again and hopefuly they will contact me this time.

Did you use the contact information provided in their website or do you have any other e-mail that I can probaly try?

Lucky I save some of these odd emails. Yes I used the Site email address.

And it was a "Pete Wright" who responded. That was the end of last nov. and it was two weeks later I was able to process the order. Always check back with ahom ever your waiting to hear from after its already been a reasonable amount of time.

Have no fear I am sure you will be able to get it. Patiecnce. Persistance.
