Brief Description:
Upper longeron bending.
Didn't take any pictures of the bending process, but it was fairly straight forward.
The longerons were marked right and left, the top was identified and marked, as well as the forward direction.
What I found easiest was to position the vice and longeron in the same position as the fuselage.
After several bends, adjustments and measurement confirmations for the left longeron, the right one was much faster to do.
I was surprised at how well the longerons fit into the fueslage. I didn't have to adjust a thing. Shocking!
Upper longeron sitting in place.
