Scott: The boards go togather with no gap between them. When you put the part in
it to squeez the trailing edge it will work fine. On one of the drawings it
showes what the radius of the trailing edge is suppose to look like. Good luck
and have fun.

Scott.
My break was spaced the width of the door hinges that I used ( 1/8 th inch)
I put a 1/8 wood dowel down the trailing edge. Used duck tape to secure the outboard
and inboard edges of the elevator to the bottom bending break board. Slowly
but with authority lowered the top board of the break down on the elevator.
I would check to make sure about 1/2 way plus through the process that I wasn't
destorying the trailing edge of the elevator. Push some more. When I thought
I was done disassembled the elevator from the break. Clecoed it together and
oh so sad poor fit. Back to the Break....................After three of these
interation I just really bent that elevator nearly flat. It came out perfect.
I also had the trailing edge of the elevator back against the back portion of
the break.
My .00000000000000000000002 worth . Good Luck and enjoy

I built the "bending brake" for the Elevator TE's and there is no mention if
there is supposed to be some space between the boards of the brake. In fact
when you look at the manual it looks like the boards are sitting flush with
each other.
Should there be some gap between the boards of my bending brake?
Or.Are the TE edges that sharp?
Thanks..
Scott

I believe there is mention somewhere of using a 1/8"
diameter rod to maintain a radius. Lay the rod in the
bend and tape it down. Then make the bend. If you
bend it without the radius, the bend will break.

At the same point, making the bending brake.

I just bent my TE's the other day.
I clamped 2 2x8s together, no space between, and used a 1/8" wooden dowel
inside the TE while bending. It took about 45 minutes to build the brake,
less than 5 minutes to bend the TEs. ;-) Most importantly they look and fit
great.

Happy Building,
Brad

Scott,
The trailing edges of the elevators and ailerons are 3/16". To ensure this
radius is accurate, you can insert the shank only of a 3/16" drill bit, (not
the fluted end) at each end of the bend and squeeze the trailing edge down
until this is achieved. You will note the Flaps on the RV7 are a larger
radius shown on a side view on one of the drawings from memory. The same
prcess can be used though larger diameter drill bits are required to achieve
these bends.
Happy Building,
Greg Blakey

Listers:
I'm building a -6a, but trying to incorporate as many new mods as possible
from the -7a's. I understand there is an air-smoothing roll-type thing at the
bottom of the firewall where the cowling air exits above the stacks. Does
anyone know the part number and plan # that shows this? If so, would be much
appreciated...
