Hi Guys,
Quick Query...I have started with my stiffeners for my ailerons, this time i had to use hand snips for cutting and shapeing them, previously I used a sheet metal foot shear machine at Alexander Tech center.
For some reason it looks like the stiffeners are bowing more away from the flat, skin, surface after the hand snip cutting than on the machine.
Is this cause for concern?
If so, do you guys use the fluting pliers on the stiffeners, or how do you get them straight and flat again, after cutting them?
Thanks
Rudi
