Rebel Stab Material Thickness

[Rich Dodson]

Gents,

Tried searching the archives on this but it looks like the server dumped all the previous threads about a month ago?

So I am beginning to lose sleep over this one. The stab. skins for the Rebel are .016 (which I know most of you know already). I am now clecoing up the second stab (the left). The first stab (the right) is ready for priming and then closure. Those skins, even when nice and tight on the frame, are REALLY thin from my perspective. The leading edge is both thicker, and bent, and stout, but the tops and bottoms have me worried.

Please help me.

Just tell me that .016 is good enough and I will stop worrying. My plane will not go on floats, and it will have an O-235-L2C (125 hp) engine in it.

Thanks!
Rich
