Has any one who has a Dave Clay  designed bender used it to bend CH701 longerons.

 They are .040thou and approx 1830mm  long.

 If so was it successful with a good bend or  problems??

  

 Thanks in advance

I have used it to bend up spars of .040 bending the  rear flanges, worked fine.

Ever thought about asking the brake's designer? I am still here.

I just bent the longerons on my "Dave's Brake" for my XL, and they're .040 and even longer - 1980mm or so if  remember correctly. They came out fine. You can see pics of them at my Kitlog site if you're interested (link below.)

   

  There are a couple of special considerations I think. Email me off-list and I'll let you know what worked for me.

 I have bent nearly all my materials with the brake  to Dave's design including .040" longerons and .063" parts for the  firewall ; all came out fine and well within tolerances.

  

 My brake has a heavy duty stainless steel piano  hinge - a good strong hinge is I think the most important  component.

  

 When bending 19x19 angles I put a piece of  scrap .016" between the hinged part of the brake and the part to be bent,  this prevents the part being pushed through the brake.

  

 It works for me.
