Designed to maintain desired angle while countersinking the trailing wedge found in various Van’s aircraft kits including models RV7, 9, 10, and 14. The model marked “RV-14 Elevator Only” is for the RV-14/14A’s elevator wedge strips, and the unmarked model is for all other wedge strips.

The drill jig is designed for wedge strips used in the trailing edges of control surfaces found in a variety of Van’s aircraft models such as the RV7, 9, 10, 14. It simplifies countersinking by providing a more stabilized surface area on which to rest the countersink cage. The jig also helps assure that drilling/reaming/countersinking is done at the correct angle since those operations can be done with tools held at a right angle to the jig/wedge surface.

Operation

• Secure the jig to your work surface. The recommended approach is to clamp the jig to the table of your drill press.
• Position your wedge strip in the jig with the thick edge in the deep recess. Align the holes in the wedge (or marks for drilling) with the holes in the jig.
• Drill/ream/countersink as needed.
