Cutting corrigated skins

Post by Tom Downey »

Karl's replacement skins do NOT need trimming.

Aviation Northwest
Bo, Wa.

For cutting the Air metel Fabricators sheet stock, I use a Dremel tool with a composite disk. leave it large, rivit, and then belt sand it to final shape.

Perfict every time.

If you are ordering from Karl. have your dimentions ready, Specially for elevators skins, there are three sizes.
