Hi Guys,
Wow is it my week for asking questions this week?embarrassed
Busy with the tip up canopy Cabin Frame I have 2 queries regarding the highlighted ? Round Cabin frames (F-631)
Q1) Putting it on a flat table upside down I see I have 1/8? deviation in the middle away from the table. The problem the bend curve is already to the inside. If I understand it correct, fluting the flanges like when we did it on the ribs works well on an outside curve, since it shortens the material and the hence the rib becomes straight. What did you guys do here the get the frames to lay flat? How do I fix an inside curve deviation or am I over thinking it. Should I just clamp it straight, drill it right, and when riveting it will be straight?
Q2) Why are there 6 frames in the kit, I see only need for 4 in the plans at this stage, what am I missing?
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards
Rudi
