So, my next longeron problem... ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
When I applied the twist in the main longerons, on one of them I put the vice grips on too close to the beginning of the twist (the 28 1/.4" mark where the longeron was clamped in a vice). When I applied the twist, instead of being gradual I ended up with a localized deformation near that 28 1/4" point. The upper flange buckled and folded a bit as the twist was applied sharply in that spot.
Did anyone else experience this? I think using a hammer and vice I can smooth this out to look reasonable...
