Brief Description:  Bent FWD Edge of AFT Fuselage Skins

After a few days of everyone in the family taking turns with a nasty stomach bug its back to the shop for me. I bent the forward edges of the aft fuselage skins using my homemade bending brake. To get the required 1/16" bend radius I had to use a piece of the angle stock from the kit as a radius gauge. This worked ok, but I can get better bends if I can come up with a thinner radius gauge. I also started studying the plans of sheet F26. There are several things I need to layout and test before I start drilling!
