Baffle Bending

[Rolly9]

When making the Bends in the Forward Baffle Inlet Floors, and/or the Forward Side Baffles, does one use those small notches as end points for the bend lines?
Thanks.

In generic terms yes. Specifcally - check and make sure it is where you need them. I seem to remember about 90% were in the right place ;-)

Hello Rolly,

Before you are going to bend and/or cut, first trim your cowl inlets to the desired shape and dimensions, especially if you need an air intake (FAB) in the left baffle floor. When you are satisfied with that, look carefully and think hard where you want your bending line (sometimes it is even near the notches ) and how much the bend should be
My experiences on http://websites.expercraft.com/PHVII/index.php?q=log_entry&log_id=8463 and beyond.

On each floor, one bend goes up and the other down. That was a point I was confused on that wasn't very clear in the drawings.
