Hey Ron!
Thanks for the info. I've plotted out everything else, I was just thinking that
I'd give the CAD layout option a chance. As it turns out, an architect here
in NC is going to plot and send me a set of the rib templates. Actually I'm still
working on my left spar, but thinking ahead to making those rear ribs. I've
already made my nose rib blocks and cut out the blanks - just not formed them.
Hope your build id going well. I haven't checked your kitlog site in a week or
so, but I imagine your spars are done. Very cool.
Thanks again for the info.

Debo,
I just tabulated the time it took me to make all the forms fot the entire plane.
In 51 hours, I layed out, cut, ground, radiused and poly sealed all the forms.
Just thought you might want to know. It is pretty easy.

| Subject: | Re: Bending fuselage bows |
For all those too averse people out there, I didn't
use anything fancy. After watching a video on making
tube and fabric planes and bending the chromoly over a
garbage can, I plotted the hoop on the worktable and
then (leaving the tube overly long so you have lots of
leverage) I simply bent it around a 45 gallon drum
covered with a blanket. The drum was vertical so I
just pulled on the areas of the tube that I was
bending at the time using my body to stop the barrel
from toppling over. You get the picture. Stop after
each iteration and compare to the drawing. Bend from
one end and work your way around or you may find you
have to unbend some sections. Guess you can figure out
how I learned about that! In the end you end up with
a nice hoop after cutting off the ends. Oh and
pulling this way keeps all the bends in the same plane
(yes I know they are all in the XL) but the hoop pays
flat on the able afterward. Have fun and experiment
with this.
David
PS
I never did get a single kink. Use something to bend
around with only a slightly smaller radius than your
finished piece and you can't miss.

Quite a bit of misinformation going here, I imagine. I am not too familiar
with the AMD version, but obviously most of these folks are on a different
wavelength than those doing Zenith models as kit/plan built experimentals.
