Fabricate Longitudinal Stiffeners


Bent 1.75" strips of 5053 0.032" aluminum sheet into L-angles for stiffeners.  Used 18" bending break from Harbor Freight.  Worked well if a little slow.  Bent stock for all 24 (6 upper and 6 lower each wing).  Placement will be centered in the open bays between the ribs running from rear channel to horizontal stiffener and from horizontal stiffener to front spar).
