Description
The RV bending die set will work on 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/8 angle longerons found on Vans RV6, 7, and 9 series airplanes. They are not recommended on the RV8
Does the idea of clamping your longerons in a vise and whacking it with a hammer sound a bit crude? If you want accuracy and control, then you need a set of RV Longeron Dies.
Who is this longeron guy and how did he die? We think he committed suicide after trying to make airplane parts out of 3/4″ angle, using a Hammer and vise 🙂
These dies bend both the vertical and horizontal flanges of the angle so that the angle does not twist as you bend it.
Note these are not applicable to the RV8.
