Trimmed Forward Spar Cover Attach Angles

Happy Father's Day everybody.  I spent most of the day with family and some friends, but had a little chance to get out into the garage late tonight.  First up, I marked and cutout the notches in the outboard forward spar cover attach angles.


Next, I decided to try and bend the fuel lines that come in from the sides of the fuselage and connect to the fuel selector.  I knew I shouldn't have started something like this at 11:30 at night.  I got the first piece mostly bent, then realized that I put one of the lines on the wrong mark on the bender and left one leg too long.  Attempting to fix it only fucked up the tube enough that I couldn't get a sleeve to slide over it anymore.  I then took the only remaining piece of tubing I had and tried again.  After carefully measuring the bends, I proceeded to put one of the lines on the wrong god dammed mark on the bender again and left a different leg too long.  Holy fucking christ!  I was pretty pissed off by now.  I'm out of tubing and it's expensive as shit to ship these 6' long pieces from Aircraft Spruce.  I don't want to order just one piece either, because what's the chance that I'll bend the next two perfectly.  So this was probably a $50 fuck up tonight just because I was not thinking clearly.  I'm going to bed...
