REFLECTOR:Manual confusion and baffle template....shocking!

[texasattorney.net]

I started to cut out my baffles today using the provided templates.  There
is VERY little info in both the old and the new manuals.  Well, my templates
use one template being used for both baffle 3 & 4. (meaning, the template is
clearly marked 3&4) This makes them both pretty long, 50 inches or longer.
However, the drawings in the manual (both) show Baffle 3 as 30 inches long
and no dimension for baffle 4, but it is shorter than baffle 3, so less than
30".

Of course, since templates seems SO obvious, I noticed the discrepancies
after I cut the baffles.  This resulted in me not having quite enough blue
foam (one baffle short).  Since these are too long, it should not be a
problem cutting the last baffle out of the extra length of baffle 4.

What did I miss?  I reviewed and re-REviewed the manual and there is no
notation about this template issue....that I could find.  I spoke to the
factory Friday before I was ready to cut and asked if there was anything I
should know.  I was assured it should be fine (I had a question since I had
two templates for my rear bulkhead, but seem to only need one, while
everything else only provides one template and I have to make two, one for
each wing).

I am not ready to start my strakes yet, but, due to my fear that I would
trash my blue foam if it were not glassed (and to bring it down from being
suspended from one of our vaulted ceilings), I went ahead and glassed it
last weekend and cut them for storage this weekend.  It was a snap to cut
with a jigsaw, I just am confused about the templates.

I have not had success trying to get factory personnel on the weekends, so I
toss the question to y'all.

Thoughts?  As always, thanks.

All the best,
