Had to play catch up on the videos. One day I hope to fly one I built. Bucket list. I just got out of the Burn Unit today, life’s short and I have a long list.

Thank you

Welcome!

I know it depends on spars and overall build aswell, but roughly how many G's could these type of ribs handle? Great video, thanks.

The Ultracruiser has a G rating of 4. I don't know for sure if that's positive and negative. Usually the negative G rating is less. Either way it makes a strong wing. Thanks for the comment

what type of Alu is that, thickness? great video.

Cool! Can you show what you’re doing with deburring?

Sure. I'll post a short video for you tomorrow.

Just ran across your video. Can you tell me what your brand your shrinker and expander are? Couldn't get a good look at them.

What kind of radius do you have on your bending brake? A 1/8" radious or any ?

When I bought the brake the fingers were very sharp with no radius. I rounded them a little so they don't dig into the aluminum. I mostly adjust the bend radius with the gap between the bending arm and the fingers.

How difficult would it be to buidl the airframe without a box and pan brake( no seperate fingers)? I could build a a straight brake but don't currently have the funds to buy a box and pan brake. Thanks for any help!

I think you would be fine with a straight brake. I just bought the box and pan so I could use it on other projects. I haven't had any need to move the fingers for the Ultracruiser.

You Don’t use a kick shrinker on structural aircraft parts. Better learn what you’re doing before showing others the wrong way and someone gets hurt or killed.
