Making the Upper Wing Inner Corner Bow

There is a cut out at the center of the upper wing. It makes some space for the windshield. I've seen the corners made of wood, but the plans for this plane call for aluminum tubing. I imagine you could do it a variety of ways. We just did it according to plans. My friend Mike made the initial bends. There will be some more work to attach them.


He started by using this propane tank, as it looked about the right radius.

Forgot I had this pipe bender. Turned out to work much better.

It's tough to get a smooth curve, but these turned out pretty good.
