Brief Description:  Bend tube for fuselage

First make wood plugs and trim tube to 80" for 6B21-1 that leaves 64" for making 6B21-2 out of 1 12' length. Deburr id of tube ends and jam plug in one end. Pour sand in with funnel, tamp it down by tapping on the outside of the tube with soft wood. Fill tube so plug just fits and continue tamping till the plugs won't move in any more.

The initial setup of the wheels with the form. I moved the wheels in 8" from the initial setup once I saw how things were going.

The setup holds the tube supported (helps keep it flat on the table), notice the center board is thinner, this allows better C-clamp placement. I marked the center board to give me a visual reference of the arc, but found count half turns of the C-clamp worked better.

Oil the clamp pad and threads, makes everything easier.
