Finally came to the conclusion that no one is going to let me use their tool to cut and bend the spar webs, and the horizontal and vertical stabilizer spar. I got in touch with Terry From Hummel Aviation and he is going to cut and bend them for me. I also decided to have them fabricate the wing ribs for me. All for about $1,000 shipped.Life is strange. When I started this i had more time than money. Now things have flipped the other direction. At least I can buy parts now though, up until 2017 I really had to save to buy a sheet of metal...
Tomorrow I should receive the aluminum angle, 6061t6 sheet, and steel needed for the wing spars. I've already gathered and cut the material needed for the jig. I'll just need to assemble it tomorrow. A quick note about how over built this airplane is. Terry got with an engineer due to my request and found that 6061t6 is more than strong enough for the spar webs and spars.
