Brief Description:  Bending and fitting mid skins

I spent a few hours bending the longerons and skins. The process is fairly straight forward and worked out well in each case. The skins take a lot of muscle, and I had to have my son hold the table in place allow me to push/twist hard enought to get the bend to form.

Fitting the mid side skins to the fuselage went well and all fit the first time around. It will be interesting to look at the RV-10s at Oshkosh to see how well all of these various bits came together for everyons else. In the past, I really had no clue what to look for in other builds, having never done one myself.

Next step is fitting up the longerons that I bent in the last steps. Now I get to see how well they fit. Not bad, but I will need to make a few careful adjustments.
