Build Rear Spar Alignment Tool/Jig

Rear Wing Spar Alignment Tool

Rear Wing Spar alignment Tool - Aft Channel End

1st tool built did not perform well. Spar angle too great.  2nd tool works much better.  Added metal stiffener to allow repeated drilling operations.  Also added an L-angle to allow some clamping in place.
