After a long hiatus (a new baby will do that) I hope to be back online with Bearhawk progress!
I was able to gain access to a shear today. Using what was left of my 12' sheet of 0.025" 2024 T3, I was able to cut out all nose rib stiffeners, all the forward stiffeners for the center rib, and a chunk of the flap spar stiffeners.
