Re: Vertical Stab Bracket

Bracket should end up within 1/8” of boom, less is OK. The bracket doesn’t have to be exactly like the template. I like to increase the distance between the bolts for extra strength. If you do this the bracket needs to be slightly taller between the bends. Bottom line is keep stress to a minimum everywhere you can.

The bracket should have nicely rounded bends. This bracket is .090 should be heated to bend the initial bends. Minor adjustments could be done to find tune it cold.

You keep trying to match that bracket perfectly and you going to end up making several brackets and doesn’t have to be.
