Mark and cut

Van's puts small circular cuts in the stiffener showing where the cuts should be. I just "connect the dots" with a sharpie and a ruler. The kit comes with 8 stiffeners that get cut in half to make 16 stiffeners. The first stiffener was easy, I just used the circle cuts to mark each end. All the other ones are shorter, so I used the first full length stiffener as a pattern for the other stiffeners on the end pointing towards the front of the aircraft.
