I received some more rolls of sheet metal and decided to cut some pieces out to save space in the garage. I also started to make the wing tip parts. I bent the right main tip spar by clamping it between a board and an 8' long piece of 3"x3" 1/4" angle steel attached to the workbench as recommended by Dave in the build manual. Placing a board between the hammer and the part being bent seems to really clean up the bend over striking the part itself. I'll post some pictures/video of the process if it keeps working for me.
I also received the wing and elevator tips from
Earnest Martin today. I really wanted to try to make these, but his parts look great, and I really like that it gets me that much closer to flying.
Time to watch the tribe beat the cubs in game 2! Go tribe (but seriously, who hates the Cubs?)!
