Very nice. I’m scratch building a wag aero wagabond and the aluminum aileron has been a lot of learning but also a lot of fun. I’ve been forming all the ribs and bulkheads with a 20 Tom press. Working with the aluminum has me thinking about forming the wing ribs from aluminum instead of spruce. Thanks for the video, cheers.

That sounds like a fun project! I wish you the best of luck, and good tailwinds!

I've never found it necessary to make flutes that deep and wide. In use narrow jaw fluting pliers that leave only a small indentation and seem to work well.

No stress risers there.

Looks like the form block had proper radiuses all around. This is the classic method for cold forming wing ribs. So I agree, no stress risers there. Well done.

Hammer time is always cool!

If you had undercut your form block slightly you would have 90 degree flanges and no spring back.

Nice job sir! what is the aluminum alloy used for the ribs? Thanks

@BlackLabAdventures 2 ай бұрын

If I remember correctly (It was 12 years ago...), it was T6061 aluminum.

Que chapa é essa e qual é a espessura?

@edwardwright6961 6 ай бұрын

what are the flutes in the side flanges for ? when dressing the sides down as you make your second and third pass along if you always hit the high spots first you will get a smoother more uniform finnish this will be more important the longer the return is as it helps stop creases forming

Your question lets me know that you have never built an aluminum airplane wing rib. If you do some online research, you will discover that EVERY aluminum airplane wing has "flutes" along their edges. It is part of their engineered design.

@@BlackLabAdventures i have never made any thing for planes that why i ask what they are for but instead of telling me you try to belittle me i have worked with metal for nearly 40 years and was just offering some advice on forming shapes but as you know more than me i will keep my learnig to my self and leave you alone

@@edwardwright6961 Hmmmm..... I have gone back and reread my response to your original question. I see nothing within my text that "belittles" you; nor infers that. I just provided information for you to seek out for learning purposes, if you wanted to pursue it. That said, in my 38 years as a yacht carpenter, I learned valuable lessons. One in particular is, I never offer up a solution for how to do something, if I have never done the job myself.
