Glen, Don't know if this is still an issue, but the following link (hope it works) shows how I did it. Basically took the horizontal stabililzer out of the jig, stood it on end, glued the stringers trailing edges and middle on both sides, dried overnight, glued and clamped leading edges of stringers.The link shows pictures (excuse the poor quality)http://joe.krzes.googlepages.com/elevpg6.htm> Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Stanley Surform planers----a lifesaver when bilizer construction, I am worried that if I put the stringers in on one side (to guarantee that it stays good'n flat) the slight bend at the LE will cause a warp and when I flip it, and the aggregate pull by all of those (8 on one side) stringers will be difficult to combat. But if I glue them in as a top and bottom pair out of the jig, I won't be able to guarantee the flatness. Ideas? Am I being a worrywort again? It is perfectly true out of the jig so it might not be an issue to go with the second idea. > > Thanks> > --------> Glenn Thomas> N?????> http://www.flyingwood.com> > > > > Read this topic online here:> > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ==========> > > _________________________________________________________________Earn cashback on your purchases with Live Search - the search that pays you back!http://search.live.com/cashback/?&pkw=f ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: R/C Pietenpol Kit for trade!
