Back to this bender. I started thinking how to determine when I reached the desired bend angle. I gave thought to different ways but settled on a protractor indicator. So I made this protractor indicator. It is held in place with magnets and is adjustable fore and aft. I tested it with several angles on the T--Bevel and it works good. I will try it on my first landing gear. Landing gear rough cut and bend lines marked. It will be a 40/50* bend.
