| Centre section layout,everyone has their own way of doing things and very interested Grahame in your own approach,temporary jig is the only way forward as you are preparing here,have tried different versions one version is two templates fitting saddled to the upper portion of fuselage,the forward one governs the wing incidence whereby the centre section ribs fit,I have tried fitting piano wire frame first locking this to the centre section ribs via the overhead jigs,the jigs can be torn free once everything is set up,should you need removeable centre section then flattened brass tubes can be screwed into ply side pieces and ply outer centre section ribs,the usual balsa cladding is then added fore and aft,Don Stothers had some great ideas for his lovely biplanes and used self tappers with head removed and drilled out for rigging wires,on his large models he used lots of car bundy tubing with suitably flattened ends,all ideas to be food for thought.
But no doubt you will have a good mental picture in your mind of the way you are tackling the centre section strutting,no easy task whichever way that you choose.
