I know a lot of guys are hands on and are not intimidated by building forms but some out there don’t want to get into it. I am fed up with storing my old forms and am willing to give them to anyone who is willing to pay the shipping (one way. I don’t want them back).
They are heavier than the usual forms. I made them from ¾” thick 6061 T6 aluminum. They WILL last forever. I made them on my CNC milling machine so believe it or not I made them with almost no effort, in fact it was fun. I ran a cubic spline through the DWG values and ran toolpaths. After milling to spec I ran a 7degee tapered endmill around them for the springback angle and then a 1/8” corner rounding tool. They are extremely precise and the tooling holes are in all forms. I made all my ribs and there is no wear on the forms. I think the whole bunch weigh about 70 lbs.
Main wing ribs left and right. Nose wing ribs left and right. One double sided wing root rib makes both left and right but with no springback cut into it. Flaperon nose rib. Flaperon rear rib. Flaperon full rib. Slat ribs left and right. Horizontal tail. Rudder tip. I don’t think I made the other rudder forms for the ribs in the main body of the rudder.
There are no grooves for the crimps so they came off looking like bananas. Some one could file the crimps into the forms but I didn’t miss them. Crimping tool straightened them out perfectly.
It would be nice to offer them back to the Zenith list when you’ve finished with them.

I knew an offer like this wouldn't last long. It was almost enough to
make me switch models
