Hello, all

Has anybody tried the David Barth method (http://ch601.org/tools/nose%20skin.htm)for bending a

nose skin for a CH601-HD?

(The radius is much larger on the -HD than on the -XL, thence the question).

Carlos-

    Couldn't open your attachment. Did my HDS skins using Larry Mac's 

set-up. Being lazy, I made a few mods to make it easier to build. I had a 

hard drive crash but later estimated the build time at 25 hours. Cost- about 

$25 with scrounging, $75 if you used new steel.

    I'll let you borrow my rig (Less the wood for weight reasons), but it 

will cost you more in shipping than building your own.

    Let me know if you want pictures.

Carlos,



I have used that method for Rudder, Stabilizer, Flaps and Aileron skins.  The flaps and ailerons were actually a modified version to close them up.  The Icon shows me using the "Gravity Feed Stomp Press" on the Flap Skins.



The most important thing is the stop, and of course carpet if using the concrete floor.  I do plan on trying it when I get to that point.  



Finishing up rear wing ribs then it's on to the spars.
