Hello group ,yes it can be done the same as the Sonex .This morning I was amazed at how easy it was to form the leading edge skin using the vacuum method .It only took about one hour with the help of my lovely wife . The results are very satisfactory.

Would a shop vac do that, or does it require a vacuum pump?

Hello Wade,
I am approaching the leading edge step in my building so I was
very interested in options for the bending process.
I watched the video's on 'youtube' and it looked like a great
way to get the desired bending in a very controlled process.
I have tried both the 'table' and air bending processes on a
very small piece of material and the leading edge fit was a
little better with the 'table' pressed part. My question is
what size of tube did you use to 'air' bend the skin, I did my
test with the drawing listed 1 3/8" tube.
Regards,
Maarten, San Antonio

Hi Maarten ,I used a galvanized 1" sch 40 pipe .The pipe book lists this
size as 1.315" mine measured 1.322 .This being a bit smaller than the
required 1.375 worked out well and took care of the spring back .
