working on horizontal stab. parts
Posted on February 12, 2012 at 10:26am 1 Comment 0 Likes
working on parts for horisontal stab. Just have to make some type of brake with 6.4 mm radius to bend parts. What are most of u bending these parts with. I see when I get to firewall stiffeners I have to make a bend almost 900 mm long. Not sure if I can bend these over a peice of wood or not. What is the best way to do this without making another brake?

rudder skin on plans built
Posted on February 5, 2012 at 1:54pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
Hey guys. I just made my first parts this weekend and have already come to a head scratcher. I have my rudder frame all clecoed together ready to fit skins. My question is, what is the best way to drill the skins? Is it better to drill them before I even test fit them, or put them on and try to find the rib locatons some other way?
I guess I probley look foolish asking this question and being a plans builder but I dont know what to do next. Any help would really help me…
