Brief Description:  Bend aileron skins

- To get the trailing edge bend more acute, I held down the skin with clamps on my measuring stick, and used the 2x4 to push judiciously on the skin. It gives a tighter bend, but I can never seem to get it as acute as the factory skins. Oh, well. This level of bend has worked on the rudder and elevator.

- Bent the second skin as well, so ready for the next steps of measuring and cutting.
