Brief Description: Stiffeners and front spar of HS
Finished trimming all stiffeners for elevators. Next time (wing kit), use a saw or grinder for main bulk of trimming, go to belt sander if needed for intermediate, then the scotchbrite wheel. Could save a lot of time that way.
Got the front spar reinforcement and splice angles bent (HS-810, 814), as well as HS-702 front spar assembly. Had to file notch in HS-702 a little wider to keep space from forming in the bend. Messed up HS-404 front ribs when I notched them too wide. Need to call Vans and ask if it is critical. Looks workable, but not sure.

too much notched off?
widened notch for cleaner mating of parts after bend
