Yes before Timothy showed me this trick I had some chitty looking parts. By the time im ready to build my next plane (sonerai) I will have all kinds of tricks up my sleeve .

Hated rolling over that edge. We ended up doing almost the same as you just a little more on the shade tree side of things. Great video Jesse, wish you built before me. I needed this tip

I learned about this technique at Airventure this year at one of the forum workshops. Jesse made three different sized forming blocks for me and they work great.

I had a hard time getting those ribs acceptable. Too late for me but a good tip. Thanks
