| Subject: | Re: Elevator Skin, Not as expected |
Well said--- it is important that scratch builders realize the plans are
telling you "what you have to end up for the final measurements", not
necessarily "cut to this dimension now".
I found it is best to overcut the aluminum by at least 10 mm if it requires
any bending.
And as said below, trim it after being fit. Also the second cut leaves a
much nicer edge.
If multiple bends, I'd leave more than 10 mm.
