Spar Web Drying Rack |

I know - it looks just like a picnic table.
After scrubbing with soapy water and a scotchbright pad and lots of rinsing this as a good place to let them dry. |

The spacer fits in the 4130 tube I used for the rudder pedals. |

|
If the table is square to the sanding wheel and the tube is butted up against an angle clamped at right angles to the wheel, the face of the spacer will be square. |

For all drilling and temporary fastening in the spars, I used 8-32 and 10-28 machine screws with wing nuts. Worked really well! |

This is not bent yet - just held in a compressed C-shape by plastic packaging straps prior to using the table and the flor to bend the nose skin. See the Builders Resources section for a drawing and explanation of how this was done. |

Rudder Assembly Frame |

I borrowed this jig from Mark Townsend. If you make one of these for your rudder therre is no way you can build any twist into your rudder. Works Great! Ask Mark for details on construction. |
