F-770 Side Skins

The sides of the forward fuse need to be bent at the rear to accommodate the complex curve into the aft fuse. On one side of the bend it is a tight 90 degrees. At the other side it is a wide sweeping arch. This was done by clamping angle down to form one side. Then I match drilled some angle to the existing holes to pry on.

The bend line. The hole you see here is for the side steps behind the wing.


The angle attached.



The first attempt. The back side is not quite as sweeping as I had hoped. I will adjust.





After adjusting a little, then the test fit. I think they fit pretty well. Here are the two sides.
