Using angle template to check angle of bend on HS 702 Spar



Checking the angle - 6 degrees on the nose! One of the things I found out while talking to Ron about this is that the RV7 construction is a bit different. The RV7 plans require some fabrication of the front spar where this bend line occurs, but the RV8 HS front spar does not.. Many folks try to purchase completed tail sections from other Van's aircraft, thinking that they will fit their RV because "they are all the same." This is not true.
