 |
|
While fitting the fiberglass saddle between the horizontal stab and rudder of my XL, I kept thinking "there's got to be a better way"...
I've looked through the archives for ideas, so I got that base covered. But I was wondering if anyone recently had done anything original with their own version of the saddle.
The one I have is fairly mis-shapen, and while I could certainly make it work by using a heat gun to bend it, I can already see that the quality is going to be lousy.
Has anyone totally "rolled their own" here...?
Thanks,
- Patrick

Good luck! This is a compound curve. You'll need a buck and a good metal
knocker or a die & a press.

No reason why you can't make it not-compound, is there?
Actually I have the drawings, posted here many winters ago, for a metal "saddle".
I won't post it again due to size (1.5 MB), but I can/did send offline.
