Brief Description:  Tail spars

Completed fabrication of tail spars. Needed 1/2" collet for router to do this. Had to order it since I could not find the one that came with the router. Worked quite well with the many tips available from people's websites. First, clamp the part to a piece of 2x4 for stability and control. Don't drill the holes near the bend prior to bending. Use unibit to get a nice radius at the root of the cutout in the spars. Used files and sanding drum on dremel to smooth the cuts. Bending using the mongo bending tool was almost a non event. Very easy, very good radius. Definitely recommend building one of these to make the bends in the 3/16 material.
