Craig Bransfield


Bending brake for flap/aileron leading edge skins.

Craig used 3/4" plywood screwed to the table top with 2mm plywood 'aft' of the screw line, between the plywood and the table top.


Slightly over-bent to allow for spring-back.


The heat gun on the table helped to 'set' the skin once it was bent around.


Craig dried the skin for one week with masking
tape to prevent excessive relaxation of the bend.


Quick alignment check with the aft wing spars.
