Hey all-
Looking at build logs, I see that most people put a big spacer/washer on each side of the skin where the 90* elbow goes through to connect to the -4 vent line in the fuselage.
That would seem to make sense, but looking at section D-D on print 36, standard blueprint naming conventions implies that they should both go on the inside, which would have the effect of making that first bend not as sharp, but also not providing quite as much support for the skin in that area.
Of course, the print isn't clear enough to make out which way is correct, and I don't really want to wait until tomorrow to ask Vans.
I suspect it will work either way, but has anybody asked vans what the "correct" stack up was intended to be?
Here's a pic of what I'm talking about.
