Brief Description:  Longeron Bending #1

- I was a little nervous starting this, but managed my way through it. Doesn't seem right to twisting and banging on aluminum angles like this...
- Everything was going pretty good until I was adding the slight curve to the auxillary forward longerons and whacked it a little hard and bent it too much. It took alot of massaging to get the unwanted curves back down to something manageable. In the end, I believe everything came out ok....not perfect....but it'll work.
- I'm putting off the bending of the upper longerons (they're like 14' long) until I actually need them. They're much easier to store while they're straight. Besides, I've done enough beating on aluminum for one day...
