Hi Guys,

I'm after a bit of advice regarding bending some .025 sheet for the fin ribs.
I've already made all of the brackets for the fuselage and bent them against the grain. All of the information that I can find recommends bending 4130 against the grain however the sheet that I have Is only long enough for the ribs along the grain. Is it acceptable to bend along the grain and of so, what sort of radius should I be aiming for??

Thanks,

Andy
