Default Conical Bend In or Out?

On the 7 the plans show the conical bend on the fuse side skins under the bottom center skin between the skin and the corner rib.

Those of you that are past this point on the 7 and other models, did you do it this way or did you put it on the outside of the bottom center skin?

If you have a QB, how did the factory do it?

Some have reported that it comes out better if you lap it over the bottom. Looks to me like that would not be as aerodynamic but would be better for shedding water.

Talked to Vans about it and they said it does not matter and it is easier to lap it over.
