Brief Description:  Longeron Bending II

Once the longeron was ready, I went to install into the fuselage. I was able to bend back the skin and insert it. The fit up front was pretty good, but oddly the two middle aft bulkheads (808 & 809) had too narrow of a slot to let it slide in. Removed it.

I put in about 5 degrees of twist up front with a wrench to get it to lay flat against the 802 engine mount flanges. Also filed the slots in the bulkheads to let the longeron slide in. Second time it fit in okaybut I was having a hard time fitting it around the flanges of the gear towers.

Removed it again and tweaked and it went in perfectly.
