Jun 22, 2022 1 Fun with Fuel Vent Line Category: Fuselage
Continued work on the fuel vent line in the cabin. Made one bend in the wrong direction so moved the part over to the right side of the fuselage where it would work. Continued making bends. The bending tool works great on bends greater than 45, especially 90 degree and more. I find it is easier to make smaller bends by hand. The copper wire pattern helped on a few bends, but I found it easier to test fit the part whenever possible. I need to finish the bends on the right side of the picture, use the Adel clamps to hold everything and make final adjustments and cut to length and flare the tubing for the fitting on the right.

I may get good at this if I keep working at it. At least I am enjoying it for now. I think I am going to use aluminum tubing per the plans instead of buying preformed tubing and a lot of fabricated hoses.
