Wire Bending 101
I am not speaking to simple angle bends here, although, if you have a technique that works well, go ahead and post if you would like to.
Here is a technique that I need to learn. This isn't used in many aircraft today, so a lot of this has become antiquated for most aircraft.
I have plans for plans building a J-Bipe. I need to bend some wire for the cabanes and landing gear.
Why not just purchase a prebent aluminum landing gear??? I want to build it as designed.
I'll upload photos of the plans to show the types of bends and loops I need to make.
Dubro has a nice wire bending tool. The problem I see is that the wires I'm needing to bend are in american measurements, and the sizes the dubro tools say are compatable are all in metric sizes.
Thoughts?
