Completed all the stringers on the bottom boot cowl sheet. Started on the sides. Had to do the bend that tapers from about 3" radius to zero. Fortunately the RV-10 had exactly the same bend on the slow build fueselage. It required a special built forming block which I threw out when cleaning up the hanger to start the Rans.
Built a new one out of a 2X4 and it worked just about as well as the fancy one used on the -10. After three trial fits managed to get the bend done. Much better than the -10 which used thicker material. Put it on which required a couple of huge spacers to tabs, one over 1/4". Got it all drilled in and made the two stringers.
Going to be short one stringer on the other side, have enough cutoffs to do a splice and that it will be.
