Small step ahead! Rudder stop plate done and hangared! Until now has not been hard remain within the building tolerance limits. Still need bend, but i'll do it together with the other pieces later.

Lug Pants Attach

Worked on lug pants attach, not hard...it just takes time.
Drawn template... this time i decided to drill holes before cutting.This to avoid having to work with pieces that are small to clamp on drill press.

file working in progress!

Every time that i complete a piece i clean it whit acetone and than spry it whit WD40 to prevent rust.

Drilled 1" holes on elevator horns. just used 1" hole saw on drill press.

Elevator Horn

Still going whit spare parts... now is time for the elevator horn! Same building technique used for the other components. Have built some parts in the past fifthen days a now i need a place to store them! So i asked to my wife if i can take one of its......"Hangar"

Landing gear Brake Plate

I'm going for standard bungee gear configuration, so need to build brake plates to weld on wheels axle.
They are 3/4 inch radius 0.100 thick, and have four 1/4 Dia. holes where bolt on disk brake plate.

Landing gear Frwd. bracket

Need to wait until September before i can start building the fusolage, because i want to talk about my project with Frank.. first, which is a experienced welder, that has done a lot of work around here.
Anyway i'm on vacation! So i've time to build some spare parts!

I ordered a pice of 4130N steel 0.100" thick from ACS, and drew template on A4 adhesive sheet of paper that i've cut and attached on for reference.

Than i made rough cut! Fortunally my vertical bendsaw works great!

 Shaping project whit files.

I use 6"-10" flat file first, than 4" half round, for smoot trim and shaping round corners,and also a 4"-6" round file on narrow corners.
Finally i sand all borders with a 120 grit cloth sandpaeper.

All Drilled!! still need to bend the two tabs and weld tubes.
