[Wing] Re: Wing digest, Vol 1 #18 - 3 msgs

[Perry Yaremchuk]

Thanks for all the hot tips, fellas, but you're really scarin' me!!!
WHY do I need a shear, and a brake etc. etc. I thought all the parts were 
included, and there was no major forming to be done?!?!?!
As an aside...my Dad built a great little adjustable brake for bending the 
dozens of 4130 steel brackets for his Osprey II, and the 'clamp' part of the 
brake could be flipped over for a larger radius for bending aluminum. I can 
assure you, however, that the many hours spent adjusting, re-welding, 
grinding, filing and tinkering with this hardly compare with spending $50 at 
the store and getting to work on your kit!

Best of buildin' to all of you!
