In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web.

So a pretty generic question but since im building an as2 ill put it here, ok here goes.....

what is the best way to cut the angles or mill them on the top and bottom of the spar. i need to mill the top to 9 degrees and the bottom to 3 degrees. i was thinking a table saw with a fine blade and a good straight long guide. how have others done it and is there a better way? getting my spars from aircraft spruce, actually the entire wood "kit" from them. they are cutting it this week and should be shipping it end of the week or early next week. id like to mill them before building the ribs so i can use a small sliver of the spar on my jig so they are exact. thanks

chris
