Rud: Trailing Edge 3

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

–Finished trailing edge riveting
–Started rolling leading edges 

The trailing edge was finished with very good results. It’s well within spec. I’m very happy overall.Next up was the leading edges.

After testing a number options, I used a 3/4″ wooden dowel to roll the edges. The rolling went ok, but I still can’t get the 2 edges close enough to cleco. Also in trying the leading edge to bend more I slightly creased the leading edges. I finally gave up for the night fearing I would screw more stuff up.
