I formed the bend on these two parts. I noticed that the hardwood dowels I have been using were being crushed with use so I switched the one on the inside of the bend for a 1" OD socket. This seemed to work well. As usual I ended up with a bit of orange peel on the surface that disappeared with an application of scotch brite. I had a hard time guessing at the spring back and ended up over forming the parts a little. A few taps with a rubber mallet brought the bend back to the correct angle.
Welcome to my builders log for Sonex S/N 767. It won't be as big as a real 767 but if you scale the speed I bet it will be almost as fast
