Mark a rivet center line on the F-844-L & -R (RV-8) or F-898-L & -R(RV-8A) Auxiliary Longerons as shown on DWG 66. Bend a slight curve in the F-844-L (RV-8) or F-898-L (RV-8A) Auxiliary Longeron (See “Curving F-844-L/F-898L Auxiliary Longeron”, DWG 66). Produce the specified curve by clamping the auxiliary longeron in a vice, preload it in the direction you wish the bend to occur, and then give it a moderate whack adjacent to the vice, with a soft faced hammer (See “Longeron Bending”, DWG 66). Make a slight bend every two inches along the auxiliary longerons length to produce the curve. Repeat the previous step to curve the F-844-R Auxiliary Longeron. No pics.
