Making the conical bends on the F-970 skins
I have been dreading this part. Kind of like going to the dentist, but you know you have to go. The instructions say to find a scrap piece of AA6-125 angle to use to make the bend. I started to look through that giant pile of parts and decided to just go to Lowes and get a piece of 3/4" x 3/4" aluminum angle to use. After some head-scratching I determined that I needed to drill holes in the angle piece on both sides for both sheets, just to get that part out of the way.
