I may be over analyzing this, I have been known to do that. I hope to be making bends on my elevators today. My concern is that I can't find any specific information from Vans on the amount of bend. I have searched this site and found much useful information about the process. Nobody seems to have had this question before. The instructions simply say read section 5G, which is the process for bending.
But as I study the plans there is no notation anywhere, that I have found so far, as to the number of degrees of bend. All the posts I read seem to indicate that the amount of bend is "enough so that the skins meet the spar with no flex back". This, I assume, is gleaned from the hand drawn diagrams referenced in the 5G process?
So is that it? Just bend it til it touches?
