I did a search and couldn't find this subject. I am starting the rudder and have cut out the stiffeners to length. But each one has a slight bow to it. reading ahead it seems you check the rudder skin for straightness. Are the bow there on purpose to counter the skin, will the skin take out he bow? If seem the skin is thinner and will end to follow the bow in the stiffeners. How would one flaten the stiffeners, maybe mine are bad and I need new one? what I think is that the bow is from the hole punching machine. Thanks if advance for any help.
Would heating the stiffeners make them flatten out.
