Tailcone Plans Omission - Page 10-10

Believe I found a plans omission. Page 10-10.

When I clecoed the top skin to the F-1210C vertical stabilizer bracket, noticed something amiss. There were seven holes in the top skin BUT only five holes in the bracket. I match drilled the skin to the bracket such that it matched Figure 2 (inset) on Page 10-10, removed the skin, deburred the holes, and cleaned the few metal flakes in the tailcone. The step to match drill the holes in the bracket is missing OR potentially I received a bracket with 5 holes vs. the required 7.

BTW, found it is much easier to cleco the top skin aft working forward.
