Bending the longerons

Post by beechdrvr »

Hey Folks,
I’m starting the fuselage construction with building the top first. I plan on heat bending the longerons in but my question is, do I just leave the truss work tacked in place at those clusters and bend it? I wouldn’t expect them to move but honestly, I don’t know what to expect!
Let me hear your process or thoughts on the matter.
Thanks
