Trimming F-705C Rear Spar Fork   July 25th, 2010

The two F-705C form a ‘fork’ that the rear spar bolts into.  The inboard end of the F-705C gets trimmed to save some weight.  I drew out the patter to trim out, making sure there were at least 0.25″ from the center of the hole to the edge.

I used the bandsaw to remove most of the material, and then used a hand file to round out the end.  Unfortunately, I can’t find any pictures of the finished part!!
