We used Sched 40 PVC-----OD was just under the 1.25" callout, as I recall the nominal pipe size was 1".
I would suggest you practice on some scrap if you happen to have any laying around.
We transfer drilled and clecoed every hole from the skin to the pipe, used a couple Phillips screwdrivers as handles to twist the pipe. You need to start with the skin upside down on the bench, clecos down. It is good to have a couple helpers, one on each end to twist, one in middle to keep the whole thing from bowing up as it is twisted.
We found rolling a complete half turn --- 180* --- gave us a pretty good finished 90* bend after the material sprung back.
Thx
