Bent the Longerons

I finally got the longerons bent. Van's instructions mention that bending aluminum angle can be "maddening". Now I know why. You bend it in one direction and it moves in another seemingly random axis. Oh well, it's done and eventually came our really good. I match drilled the "elbow rest" pieces and they match the curve perfectly. I also checked the downward bends against the side skins and they look good.




Here's the length of the longerons. It's going to be a tight fit in the garage.
