Hi, folks, just starting the emp kit and am facing my first head-scratcher. Vans' HS instructions appear to include the work required by SB 14-01-31, including drilling the relief holes into HS-702 and cutting an angle out of the corner of the front spar flanges. The drawings show the cut, with a note to maintain edge distance to a hole, but the referred-to hole is not pre-punched on new kits, so I'm not sure what else I can use to guide my cut.
I thought I'd be clever and check SB 14-01-31, and lo and behold the dimensions of the cut are not specified there either, just the same note to maintain the right distance from that hole.
I assume this hole may be drilled at some point later in the HS fabrication, at which point I have the right reference for this cut. Should I just wait until then to make this cut?
