Here are all the aluminum strips I bent at Tom's yesterday along with the
left side floor panel.
I trimmed the left side floor panel to match the right.
A few days ago, I had gone to Clares and bent the bottom flange on the additional
ribs for the upper forward section of the fuselage. I decided to put lightening holes
in them to match the existing ribs.
A bit of work with the circle cutter had the lightening holes cut out.
I wanted to bend the forward and aft flanges on these ribs, but I didn't think the remaining
tooling I had would be long enough when all stacked up end to end.
You see...when I bought this brake, four of the toolign pieces had the tips ground to a radius.
One of the welders at work welded a bead along the edges, but after filing the welds down, there
wasn't quite enough weld to bring these back to a point. Tomorrow I believe Clare and Joe Maynard
are going to be making some repairs to his Rans S-6, so maybe I can get these welded on as well as
getting the little bellcranks welded up.
