Brief Description:  Tip on how to fit the flap fillet part 1

I stumbled on an easy way to bend the flap fillet. First I drew a 1/4 inch line aroud the the fillet to set my minum edge distance for the rivets and to locate the corners. I then drew a line from the the corner that fits up to the flap to the top aft corner of the fillet.(image 1). I then clamped the fillet in a vise between two 2x4's with the line on the edge of them. I then bent the forward edge to 90 degrees with my hands allowing the aft edge to roll however it wanted. (image 2) The aft edge takes a nice contour which I had to increase just a little by squeezing it. ( image 3)
