OK, I know the plans say flute until the ribs straighten out. I realize the flutes
are evenly spaced, but how much (or hard) do you flute? Do you increase the
number of flutes or make the evenly spaced ones deeper. The earlier sets of
plans show you where to flute, the new ones do not since the holes are pre-punched.
This is for on my RV-7 which is just getting under way.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
David

David,
Flute in between holes (mid-point). You just vary the depth as needed. At
least that's how I did it :) If you over-do it, you can "fix" it by using
the seaming pliers.

Thanks Radomir,
That is what I guessed.

My ribs were completely un-fluted when I got them back in '90, and they
were in horrible shape (kinda like pretzels). Where the worst of the
bend is, you flute closely, maybe 1/2", making sure there are flats for
the rivets and that the spacing is ok. Flute lightly at first, and
harder as you get the feel of how much they're moving. I still have
tendonitis from that...

Hi David - where are you building?
I'm working on an -8 empenage in Winston-Salem.
for fluting, read the post by "gpiney" titled 'there IS a science to the
art'. it's the tenth post on this thread:
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=7864&highlight=fluting
I printed it out and put it in my build manual. works like a charm.
