Brief Description:  Flaps - Bending 706B

The plans call for 706B to be bent 6.3 degrees! Oh yeah?

Research revealed most people had used a BB Hammer but I remember bending the HS stiffener with 4 x 2 so I thought I would give it a try.

I duct taped the 706B, after marking the bend point, and placed in my vice. I then gave several hard pushes with the 4 x 2 lumber and eventually I called it a day at 6.4 degrees! Close enough!

It fitted beautifully with the end rib and 706A.
