Mick,

I am sure you will get a bunch of answers from this question but here is my 
simple response. Automotive uses double flare, aviation does not. Why? Now 
there is another great question.

I think you should try a few test pieces and see what happens. I think you 
might find that the tubing will crack.

The tubing provided in your kit will most likely crack
if flared to 45 degrees.  If not when you flare it,
some time in the future after your airplane is flying.

Why take that chance? Why not just do it like Van's
tell you to in your instructions?  That's what I did
and after 280 hours Iv'e had no problem at all.

OK, I hate to ask for this favor, but lately I find myself tired of fishing thru
websites looking for this info so I thought I'd ask the experts out there for
help.  I've finished my empennage and am awaiting delivery of my wings and fuse.
I figured I'd start smoothing the joints between the VS, HS, and elev and
fiberglass caps.  How?  If someone could post a short tutorial on how to do
this, such as do I use resin/hardener with filler first or fiberglass cloth and
epoxy first, It would be a great help to me and possibly other builders out
there also getting to this point.  Thanks in advance.
