  • Ready for bends top fuselage - fore/aft starting alignment?

    Seeking a little help again. Making progress but hesitating on on next step. I'm probably over-thinking this and being overly cautious (ie anal). I've got the bottom fuselage bent and secured. Top fuselage is in place, centered right/left. I'm having trouble determining the placement of the top fuselage fore/aft for the start of the bending process. It may be out there in Eric's Manual or Russ's CD but I'm having trouble finding it. I'm still looking so point it out to me if its there.

    Is the correct starting point to just line up Station J (bottom) with Station H (top) vertically, then make the bends in the top fuselage and finish with a final adjustment for a Station J to H plumb to account for the small change in length due to the bends?

    Just confidence level low and rather ask a dumb question instead of finding a mistake later.

    Thanks for any and all help.
