The Empennage... ready to do some bending.
March 22, 2007: Just started this
page... the weekend isn't here so I don't have any pictures to post. I'll be bending the vertical stabalizer first followed
by the elevators. Dennis, one of the guys from the biplane form, had made an extra set of the metal ribs for this area (all the ribs
except for the area for the trim tab which will allow me to say I've bent a few of the ribs for this section and to add it into my
book of learned experiences.) I bought these from him and I should be getting them by the weekend. If not, I'll wait until next weekend to do
the bending. No sense in bending the tubing if I don't have the exact ribs that go with it. On second thought... I could get it started. hmmmmmmmm ?
Side note: It feels pretty good working on several projects at one time. I've been working on those ribs forever. Never thought I was going to be finished with them.
More to come... hopefully by the end of this weekend.
