I've been working on drawing plans for a design and decided instead having shorter cut tubes for angle changes to have continuous lengths.
I've been thinking about bending angles and most of the bends will be 2 dimensional and easy to find the angles, but there is some that have angles in two axis. The simplest way to make the bend is a 2D bend rotated to fit both the vertical and horizontal locations, but I am having trouble finding information for finding these angles.
One of the tubes I am referring to is the lower longeron where it bends up vertically infront of the landing gear, but also inward horizontally to the firewall postion. The length of the tube from the bend will also increased from a 2D view.
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on simple ways to find this angle and the length of the tube from the bend compared to the 2D angles from side and top views?
