Wing tip brace fabrication

We fabricated 4 aluminum pieces that will be used as braces for the wing tips.  These were constructed from aluminum tubing (1/2 x 0.035") by measuring and cutting the tubing, flattening the ends in a vice, and then bending the ends to 45 degrees.  All parts were also deburred. Two pieces (of different lengths) are needed for each wing, and we built two sets so that we would have enough for both wings.  Hours: 2.0
Flattening the end of the brace
Bending the end to approx. 45 degrees
