When I built the elevators, I did the final trailing egde bends on Dave Rogers’s bending brake. I didn’t have access to Dave’s brake for the ailerons, so I built my own per Vans’ instructions, out of 2″x”8 lumber and a long piano hinge I found at Home Depot. The piano hinge turned out to be not such a great idea, it’s just a little too flexible – but more on that later.

After finishing the brake I started match-drilling the ailerons and stiffeners. Nothing new here, but I did take a picture anyway. And that’s all I have to say about that.
