Brief Description: Antenna Doubler 2

I bent the flange using some 4 x 2" and completed the flange to 90 degrees with a hand seamer. The next task is to make the joggle to fit over the F-815 flange ..... Place the doubler against F-814 and the forward edge of the doubler was 8 5/8" from the aft part of the centre section lower flange. Mark the inboard (IB) and outboard (OB) of F-815 onto the doubler. Cut along the OB line and debur. Mark the IB line onto the reverse of the doubler and align that under some angle on the back rivet plate (no setback this time)
