Here is a picture (basically the same as the last pieces, just a little thinner).
Once these 8 pieces are done, I get to start working with aluminum and rivets. I'm looking forward to it.
I'm building a Thatcher CX4 experimental airplane and documenting the experience here. The Thatcher CX4 is a single place, all metal airplane design by David Thatcher. My plans are #568. See the CX4 site here: www.thatchercx4.com.

1/8" Wing Attachment Pieces
I cut the eight 1/8" think 4130 parts tonight. I started to shape one, but I think it's time to stop before the neighbors get mad at the noise. This time I could cut the 7" pieces using the HF chop saw (around $40) since it was thinner. It did the job. I cut the notch with an angle grinder, and will shape it later.
