Thanks for all of the comments.
We have had success using a pipe bending machine originally designed to bend muffler pipes... a mentor just happens to have one...
It worked pretty well on 3/4 square soft aluminum tubing (wall thickness 1/8")

A pope robot eh?
interesting... perhaps the side view will explain...
It is actually a 15 " throw 1.5" diameter Bimba cylinder...
It is used for tipping back the lift to obtain a better center of gravity during flight.

We will see everyone in Portland, Seattle (Tacoma) , and at CMP.

I hope this thing works....
