Michael,The bracing seems to be such that the lower longerons cannot pull thestraightness out of the uppers. You will find the whole process a non-event,taking less than =BD a day.Gary BootheCool, Ca.PietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, Fuselage on gear(13 ribs down=85) _____

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Fuse. longerons bendingI would make 2 suggestions though:First: Do not add gusset plates until after the bend. Before the bend on the flat the gusset plates keep the structure rigid and work against you as a force to try to over come. Adding them after the bend is made , they work to hold the new shape and help to reduce the opposing forces reducing the tension.Second; I found doing the tail match up the angles are harder to cut after the fact, you may want to omit the very last piece at the tail and all it in once you have the structure bent into shape and not completely glued up so you caqn work on fitting the 2 halves together more neatly on a single piece of wood rather than the 2 pieces that make up the tail postJust some things I learned and others I wish I would have considered.John**************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
