Trimmed the mid fuse longerons from angle stock. Bent them to match the template. Then match drilled them to the template. Then cut the two different main longerons to lengths per plan. Marked the various bend and twist marks and bent to match the template. Match drilled longerons to the template. All in all this was not a hard task but did take a little time to get it right.
Cleaned off one of the benches and got prepared to bend the skin. Cut and trimmed the assembly angles and clamped the skin down to the board. Had to run out to the storage unit to retrieve the baggage bulkhead form the tail cone assembly.
5/7: started the side skin bends. Got through the rear skins pretty easily. The bending block was sliding a little bit so I put the screw through the flap torque tube hole and that held it in place well. Did the first one to where I thought would be good but test fit it and it needed more. Ended up bending to more like 70 degrees, not the 60 degrees the manual shows. Final result was really good.
Then tried the front skins. A little more difficult because the assembly angle done have clecos to hold them in place, just clamps. Started to bend the skin and the clamps slipped which put some dings in the first skin. Used a piece of masking tape to give a little more grip. That seemed to work a little better but still was precarious. Overall not perfect, but got passable results on all four skins. Pretty cool to have them all cleco'd in place.
Proceeded with fabrication of the baggage door stiffener angles and cleco'd the seat back brace and baggage opening angles in place.
Did some late-night shopping looking ahead at what I will need in the next few months.
