REFLECTOR: Fuel strake baffles templates

[Andrew Ellzey]

To All,

I am starting my fuel strakes and I am ready to start cutting out my baffles from my 4 X 8 sheet of blue foam with the bid applied to both sides. My question is, was the patterns that came from Velocity close to the correct size or do I need to make cardboard patterns to check the fit before I make the final size cut from my full sheet of foam. I know from watching the posts over the last year and a half that most everyone made the cardboard patterns before cutting their final baffles. I also know that a lot of builders added the extra flanges to assure a good bond to the top strake, which I am also considering. What I guess I am asking is how much difference was there from the original pattern, and if there were differences was the original patterned baffle larger than the final baffle size that was installed?
