For such case we can continue duscussion with two type of drawings and one sample:

- first is Mtt jigs and theoretical outlines for production e.g. plans used to prepare splines and templates. These drawings represent a part of complete set used to restore 109E now and dated 1939. Also some remnants of 109F/G plans are available - that set was used to restore 109G-6 in Moscow;

- second is a drawing from NII VVS report contains dimensions and outlines of a real production 109E obtained in 1939/40 by USSR. So we can see how different are jigs/outlines both discussed earlier from a real sample;

- third is real rudder of 109G and 109E which I could measure. It could take about two weeks because of my skydiving activities

So what way do we choose?
