	Before Step 12 (riveting the trailing edge), I suggest final-drilling #30 the most rearward #40 hole on the outboard end of each elevator. It's the hole that's forward of the most outboard hole in the trailing edge wedge. Then dimple it for AD4 rivets.		Before Step 12 (riveting the trailing edge), I suggest final-drilling #30 the most rearward #40 hole on the outboard end of each elevator, for both the top and bottom skin. It's the hole that's forward of the most outboard hole in the trailing edge wedge. Then dimple it for AD4 rivets. You should do this a total of four times.

	You don't have anything to final-drill into yet (unless you want to jump ahead to Section 12), but if you wait until Section 12, you won't easily be able to dimple that particular rivet. I think it is fine if you pre-drill this one hole to #30 and then wait until the fairing is in place to do the others.

	* Step 4: Some builders prefer CNC machined cable anchor brackets (WD-415) over the welded ones that come with the kit (Vans did have issues with the first version of them since they only had a weld on one side of the nut). Do your research before ordering a set from iflyrv10.com. See [https://www.facebook.com/groups/vansrv10/posts/7196160973838273 this FB post].<br>Consider using fasteners instead of rivets to attach WD-415. If they are riveted, you need to rotate the entire access cover to adjust the length. It's possible, but it takes to move the F-1095A trim mount bracket all the way aft to have enough cable sticking out.		* Step 4: Some builders prefer CNC machined cable anchor brackets (WD-415) over the welded ones that come with the kit (Vans did have issues with the first version of them since they only had a weld on one side of the nut).
