=== Before You Start ===
Special/New Tools/Supplies

* You will need to build some wooden support braces (see page 8-7, step 5).

=== Notes ===

==== Page 8-3 ====
* Step3: The 1 21/32 lower flange width dimension is to be applied at the 1 inch line, not at 2 inches, the raw angle size.

==== Page 8-7 ====
* Step 3: only cut back the two corners on the front edge of the nose rib, not the entire edge because then you will violate the edge distance for the foremost rivet. See also this [https://www.facebook.com/groups/vansrv10/posts/5918655041588879 FB thread].
* Step 4: Very likely that the nose rib that came with a recent kit already has the holes in the web that step 4 calls out for making

==== Page 8-13 ====
* Please read the notes in figure 1, they spell out the all the manufactured heads are on the outside (rear) of the spar. This helps with avoiding elevator leading edge binding.
