Gary,
On my first kit, I made a jig out of scrap wood I found. I copied mine from
the one illustrated in one of the earlier RVater newsletters. This jig gets
all of your flanges square to the rib, then you flute to make them flat.
(Make sure you mark where your rivets are going so you don't have a flute
where the rivet goes). Find a picture of this tool and make it! You have to
do this to the wing ribs also. (The new kits come this way, YES!) Makes the
job easy and fast!
Anyone know which RVator it was in?
