Do any of you scratch builders have good recipe for getting the 30 degree bend in the .090 rudder horn. I have everything else ready to assemble but this step is humbling me.

Bend it BEFORE you cut it out. John 701/Vair

Hi Bob: I laid it out and bent it over the edge of my bench. Just sandwich it between the bench top and another board on top and clamp it with a couple of c clamps and bend it with your forming hammer. Dan.

Thanks to John and Dan. I had already cut out the horn so I’ll have to remember John’s good advice for next time. I sandwiched the horn between a couple of pieces of ¾” maple. I routed a ¼” roundover in the bottom board to approximate the 6mm bend radius. I used deck screws to fasten the blocks and rudder horn to the edge of my bench, passing the screws through the three holes for the hinge and cable attachment points. After significant coaxing with a large dead-blow hammer I have the part in hand am ready to assemble.
Don’t know what I’d do without this list.
Happy New Year!

I did what Bob did, but I just clamped it between the two pieces of hard wood in a vice. The I just whacked it over the radius-ed piece, until it had the correct angle and was straight. Now the rear stabilizer bracket, that part I made 4 or 5 time to get it correct.
