All-

     Upper longerons are bent. Used  Scott's jig and no template. No matter what you say, getting ideas from the list  is beneficial.

     My take on it-

     1. Whoever said this could be  done using Larry Mac's method or a variation in 1/2 hr is FOS. I came in right  around 4 hrs., which is what Larry logged.

     2. If you're going with Scott's  jig, use schedule 40 pipe. Even with 40 I had major distortion in the pipe.  Schedule 30 would have collapsed for sure.

     3. If I were to do this  again, I wouldn't use a jig. Just clamp the same piece of 2" schedule 40 you  have to use to bend the lower nose bowl on your bench and have at it. Just  pushing the extruded L against the pipe, I could have finished both sides in  a  1/2 hr

 NOTE: LAY OUT THE TEMPLATE ON YOUR  WORKBENCH FOR A REFERENCE..
