New tail cap completed. Made from .040 5052 and gas welded.
Trying to show how much curve has to be put into the longeron extrusion prior to assembly. I form it by hand to match the lofted lines taken from the blueprints. #handmade #lofting #blueprints #warbird #fabrication #f4ucorsair #corsair #corsairtailcone #bentwingbird #aviation #aviationsheetmetal #ww2 #ww2aircraft #airplanerestoration #airplane #sheetmetalfabrication #rivets #aluminumforming #aluminum https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GWHlUnMg_/?igshid=1p0dgrd3ej7oa
Just completed making these little gusset for the rudder fairing. Had to make steel tool and dies since it's such a sharp well defined corner/radius.
100% scratch-built rudder fairing is complete.
The completed rudder fairing assembly, ready to blow apart and heat treat, then spotweld together. 100% handmade. Last pic shows the major press blocks and flat patterns I had to make to complete the assembly.
Had to make a press block and flat pattern to make the main bulkhead in the rudder fairing. Everything is made off the blueprint, and machined by hand.
Getting all the major components of the empennage fit. #handmade #sheetmetalfabrication #sheetmetalshaping #metalshaping #metalforming #warbird #f4ucorsair #corsairtailcone #corsair #aviation #aviationsheetmetal #empennage #gasweldingaluminum #rivets #spotwelds #ww2aircraft #vintageaircraft #aircraftrestoration #fabrication #scratchbuilt https://www.instagram.com/p/BtledZEBYLb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=68ox8msk1s12
