Here's an easier method for easements. For the first 12" of your curve, use a curve that's TWICE the radius that you want for the main part of the curve. For instance, if you want a 22" curve, make the first 12" or so of it a 44" curve. Same thing as you go out of the curve. The net result of this method is that you'll add approximately 1" to the effective radius of the curve. The easement will smoothen out even more as you bend your flex track around the curve. You'll actually have troubles identifying exactly where the curve starts, which is what you're looking for. Mark in Utah
