Default LE CRUSHER! (Simple Rounded LE Jig)

I know, I know, a sharp, folded, creased, leading edge fly's just as good as a nice rounded one. A sharp one is easy to do and strong. I know.

With that said it still just bugged me. An airplane is supposed to have a rounded LE! If you agree here's the jig I built and used to get nice, straight, even rounded edges without much ado.









Step 1: Mark and cut Coro
Step 2: Lay Coro over Die Groove so the LE mark is centered on the groove.
Step 3: Heat Coro along LE mark with heat gun.
Step 4: CRUSH! Allow to cool . . . . .

Here's a link to the plans:http://leogreene.mystarband.net/Pics_02-03/le_press.pdf

Plastic's Cool!
