Baby Steps to an RV-8


Date: 8-9-2009
Number of Hours: 2.00
Manual Reference: Sec. 6
Brief Description: H.S. Forward Spar

Rounded ends of Forward Spar stiffeners, HS-810 and HS-814. Still one left to do. Found that using Bench Grinder was WAY EASIER than using Scotch Brite Wheel for the rough cuts. Making cardboard jig for 6 degree bend angle.

Start work on Fwd Spar HS-810 and HS-814

Dimple Die makes a good 1/4 inch radius

Not perfect, but SAT for stiffeners
