Re: Detailing a DeHavilland Beaver

Of course it is a little late now,But I am in the thinking stage of a Twin Otter 8 ft ws,with the same detail.Would thin gauge aluminum sheet work,and simply press,using a forming tool of the right dimension?Like a piece of flat bar steel,filed to the right curve radius and approximate length.Give it a love tap,or clamp it down to push it into the sheet aluminum? Ultimately,a cnc with a v groove,cutting a piece of arborite to make a mold,then pouring resin,like quick cast polyester on fine poly cloth would make a very professional sheet.Alex
