I tried to bend the F1070R fuse skin yesterday.  It didn't go too well.  I ended up with a tear in the skin at the forward end of the bend line.  I think my problem was that instead of making the bending block out of hardwood I used 2 by 6 construction lumber which is much weeker.  As a result the edge of the bending block broke.  Ordered new skin ($75) and a will be getting a piece of oak to make the new bending block.  Has anyone had a similar experience?  Any suggestions on this?

I talked to Bob Condrey # OSH about this, If I recall correctly he had
porblems initially, but came up with a great solution for bending these.
I believe he posted it on the list, but i can't recall.
Bob, you out there?

Rolling the fuselage skins can be pretty tough (especially the front ones).  Making the bending/rolling block out of a hardwood is imperative!  Also, there are a couple other tips that Tim posted on his website at http://www.myrv10.com/tips/fusetips.html.  Scroll down to the bottom for the skin rolling stuff.

Talk to Van's.  When I was talking to them about this, they mentioned it may be rolled from the factory now.  Not sure if they were talking about the front or the rear, but they were working on having them formed from the factory.

Niko,
I don't have access right now to the plans, but they do tell you to bend both panels. You will want to do the bend BEFORE you cut the baggage door from the side panel. It helps keep the panel a little more rigid.

Does the F1070L skin (the one with the baggage door cutout) get bent the same time the F1070R does? I don't see any mention of it at all.
