Hey Chris,
We have the wings built and squared up, the center section is complete and we are beginning to install the the control hardware as I write this post.
Which brings a question I could really use some input on, anyone .
The plan calls for (4) aileron horns to be cut out of 1/4" thick 2024 T3
aluminum stock. There are two rather shallow bends to be made in each horn. However, I had a job shop in my area bend these cold for me but
they have fractures. My question is this, can this material be heated
to bend these without the integrity of the strength being compromised ?
Any input on this would be appreciated.
Todd
