Does anyone have good photos of bending the longerons on a new -1 kit? I have looked over the plans for hours and can't quite get the exact orientation down. The 2 smaller longerons were 'easy' to understand. The two long longerons have me perplexed.
 
Hi Greg!

Unfortunately, I don't have any in-process photos. Here's some pictures with them resting gently in the boat. Maybe they'll help.

I waited to bend the longerons when I needed them. The orientation then becomes self evident. I perplexed a long time like you then just decided to wait. They worked perfect.
 
I waited till I needed them

I am glad I did it, not being sure how far to bend or the orientation, I found it useful to bend them when they said to install them, things were quite clear them.
