  November 26, 2003: You need to bend the spars up 6 deg. I made sure to use a piece of plate steel with a radiused edge while held in place with the C-clamp.  November 26, 2003: A lot of work goes into filing down the spars. I used a vixen file. A band saw would have been nice for the rought cut followed by the vixen file.   November 26, 2003: New spars with the proper diameter ends. Measured three times to make sure!   November 24, 2003: A look into the setup. The kerosene heater works great! I work very comfortably when it's freezing out side (40's)!  November 24, 2003: Ok, I goofed again...seeesh! Apparently and I can't determine the proper diameter of the ends of the reinforcment spars and I violated the enge distance rules. I also made sure to properly label the bad parts. While wainting for the replacements, I was still able to use them to continue building.
