I am now trying to make my steel ribs just as you did. but I see you didn't bend the narrow flange in along the edge of the ribs as the plans show. (as a last step) Did you try that ? do you see a way to do it without ending up with a mess ? Love your videos----- Tim B. Greeneville TN.

The plans I have show the little bend you refer to on page 23B call out C-C, But on page 24B call out A-A and B-B for the stabilizer and elevator do not have that detail. Drawing 23B is from 1995 and 24 is from 2009. I think the page 23 call out is a leftover from when the stabilizer was flat. It would be difficult to add that bend on the curved rib and I would guess its original purpose was to prevent the fabric from rubbing on a sharp edge. My plan is to make sure the edge is smooth and use fabric tape as necessary when covering.
