Hi Martin got your envelope a few days ago thanks, I have good luck using

A metal shrinker will work. I see them on Ebay all the time. Do a search
on "metal shrinker." $229 to $260 for the shrinker/stretcher pair. $150
for just the shrinker. I'm thinking about getting one too.

I have formed the root rins around the form, but unlike the full size ribs,
they are curved without using the fluting pliers.
Is there a way of formaing the rib without the use of flutes to straighten
it?

I used lacquer thinner. It takes off sharpee marks too. That's what the
ZAC folks told me to do at the rudder building class.

Hi,
I have a strange request. I was overzealous with the application of zinc
chromate on the outside of the tail skins with the thought that it would at
least be under each rivet head on the outside of the skin. I realize that I
can just leave it and sand/buff it when the day ever arrives to paint it,
but it looks pretty bad and I would possibly test fly before painting, etc.
So the question is: Is there any easy way (solvent) to wipe the zinc
chromate off of the smooth outside skin surfaces without damaging anything?
Not a big deal either way, but I thought I would ask.
Thanks!
John

That's what I use as well: lacquer thinner. MEK is a little too strong,
the fumes are pretty toxic and IMHO it doesn't do as good a job as lacquer
thinner for removing excess zinc chromate or for removing sharpie marks

True enough but keep in mind that the stretcher/shrinkers put serious tooling marks
in the flange where they grip. LOW&SLOW JB

If your ailerons meet the required deflection as listed in the manual/plans,
then there's no problem.

Me neither. That's why I wasn't sure why the scallops were shown on the
plans -- except to let people know what to adjust if they weren't getting
the proper range of travel.

Test Acetone first... MEK is more dangerous to skin and lounges (sp?)
Saludos
Gary Gower.
I have not removed ZC but I keep away from MEK as possible.

Your absolutely correct Gary, if you don't know how to safely use any of the
"keytones" you had best not use them and let someone experienced help with the
use of those chemicals. Regards,
R. Roy
