Gary,

On my first kit, I made a jig out of scrap wood I found. I copied mine from

the one illustrated in one of the earlier RVater newsletters. This jig gets

all of your flanges square to the rib, then you flute to make them flat.

(Make sure you mark where your rivets are going so you don't have a flute

where the rivet goes). Find a picture of this tool and make it! You have to

do this to the wing ribs also. (The new kits come this way, YES!) Makes the

job easy and fast!

Anyone know which RVator it was in?

 Greetings:



 Have an '"older" empennage and instructions dating

 back to 1999.  Understand RV-7, 8 and 9 have the same

 Vert Stabilizer.  Is there anything in the "Newer

 Instructions" about about tapering (angling) the

 flanges of the VS Ribs to match the desired contour

 (taper) of the VS ???



 Thanks,  Garey
