To All,
I've got the longerons trimmed and the angle opened up (using a hydraulic press and 3/4" bar stock die, no vise or hammering) and now it's time to match drill the the holes from F-01234-L/R into the longerons F-01255-L/R.
On plans page 23iS/U-02 Rev. 2, Figure 2 shows the longeron cross section with F-01234 overhanging the edge by 0.025" I assume this overhang is supposed to be consistent for the whole length of F-01234?
When I lay F-01234 on the longeron and set the overhang at either end, it is all wrong in the middle (i.e. negative gap) as shown in the photos below. It looks like the longeron has more curve than the F-01234's. My plan is to drill the first hole(s)and then work my way along the length of the part, putting some force on the longeron to slightly straighten it to match the curve of the F-01234. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Bruce
