Nov 02, 2021     Fuselage top skin edge refinement       Category: Fuselage
I wanted to dress up the bottom edges of the top fuselage skins. Normally this would be done by using a bead roller. Unfortunately, I do not have one at my disposal, so I set out trying to duplicate a beaded edge. What I came up with was a strip of 6061 aluminum that is folded over and bent out slightly. I had a machine shop shear pieces long enough, then folded over the edge at Balsa USA who has a 48” bending brake. Picture shows a prototype representative sample.
