Brief Description:  Making the conical bends

It's time to do the dreaded conical bend of the side skins where they meet the tailcone.

Lots of cross checking on VAF was the initial prep. Then, I did a test bend using some scrap to get the feel of the process. Careful application of pressure and checking worked well, just like bending the rudder and flaps.

Didi it for real on the skins .. nice bend, no cracking at the tip! Once in place on the fuse, it was incredible how well all the holes lined up. Almost no tweaking was required to get the clecos in.

A good day!
