For
Restoration and scale-aircraft builders documenting their process
Worth noticing
The aircraft alignment jig is at V2 CAD-prototype stage; physical qualification is explicitly pending.

Field notes

The journal frames research, tool choice, workspace limits and budget as part of the build, rather than hiding them behind a finished-project reveal. Its jig study includes an interactive CAD view with annotations on support and access; the page asks whether printed supports can fit and hold the model safely, but says physical qualification has not yet happened. The site also says its authors are not experts and describe deliberate learning and risk assessment as part of the process.
