Brief Description: Setting up for elevator/trim tab flange bending.
I cut out a block of poplar wood block that I had leftover from a furniture build. I traced it with the angle of the skin and cut it out creating a form that I could clamp and bend over. First drew the line on the tabs where they needed to be bent and started with the bottom on first since the top would fold over to keep rain out of the tab. I fortunately had some elevator skins leftover from a previous unhappy-with-riveting incident, so I had a scrap to practice on before the real thing. (Practice session not shown here). It worked fine so I started with the cheaper part first - the trim tab! Clamped it all in place, then ready to go.
Trimmed a chunk of spare poplar on the table saw to match the trailing edge.
