I'll be assembling the tailcone for the first time this evening. IN reviewing the plans and getting the associated parts ready, I noticed the mid and lower longerons were bent. Not a sharp bend, but a long slow bend, like a 20 - 30' radius. So, I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to straighten them out first, but I didn't see that anywhere in the instructions, which otherwise practically remind me to breathe every few seconds.
What's the consensus? Straighten, or install them pre-loaded with the bend?
Any other gotchas or tips at this stage?
(Congrats Rick, looks like you'll be flying in a few months.)
