Anybody in the Seattle area (I'm on the East side) have a set of longeron bending dies they'd be willing to loan out or sell? I started bending one longeron using the 6 nickels approach. It works well and is easy to get a bend, but I've struggled with the longeron bending in the other plane. When I fix that, it screws up the original bend...and the non-stop back and forth commences. I can obviously get it sorted like thousands of people before me have, but figured I may as well see if anyone in the area has the dies since I hear they do indeed make this task a lot easier.
 
RV-7 Longeron Bending Dies

Hi Brandon, I have a set of RV-7 Longeron Bending Dies that you can borrow/buy, not sure if they would be the same for a -9 but guessing they are? I'm in the Greenlake area... PM me if you're interested.
