Yesterday, I finished drilling the remaining spar pilot holes and then followed up by drilling out to #21. I will put an angle on the Spar Web Doubler when I go to our chapter meeting next Saturday (my bending brake cannot handle .063" metal). Will pre-mount it later in the day.

When I made my spar doublers I first put the bend into a strip 0.063 that was more than long enough for both pieces.  I bend both ends of the strip.  Then I cut the parts out.  It was much easier to cut the parts to the correct size than trying to predict the correct developed length.
