main longeron: "adjusting the bend"

Post by Philip Cobbin »

I was a little apprehensive when bending the main longerons for the radius in the cabin area. Accordingly when we flipped the canoe over it turned out the longeron could use a little extra bend. The fixture below is easy to make and did the adjustments just fine to get that extra 1/16 of an inch or so into the fusalage width.
