Default Bending longeron

I need to make bends of about 30 degrees in a 3/4 x .049 longeron tube,
with a tight bend radius, no more than 3 inches. Can I do the bend hot
without wrinkling the tube by free bending or do I need a supporting die
of some kind? Anybody have any specific techniques?

John
