A novice here!!  I'm looking for advice on how to work with Atlas Flex Track sections.  My question is this:  Should I put the flex track down first in the configuration (bends) that I want, then even the ends of the rails, or connect it to the rigid sections first and then work with the bends?  I'm just beginning to place the tracks to determine the best design, so nothing is final.  Any advice will be deeply appreciated.

I put it down in order, piece by piece, rigid or flex, as I worked around my loop. I would fit a piece of flextrak as the next piece on a trial basis at its end attaching to the portion I've got built, moving the rails within the tires until they are flush and tight with the piece its against, then position and screw it inplace, and then go to the other end (the end of the line, so far as what I've built so far) and mark each rail as to what to cut so it would be even, then remove it and take it to bandsaw to make the cuts, then take it back and remount it, then m,ove ontothenext piece, ripgid or flex.
