The chart says "40-45 degrees" so I'm right in there.

I haven't dimpled the skin yet, so I pulled out the small version of drawing 40 to see how to dimple/countersink the area where the skin sits on the F706 bulkhead & F732A brace. Detail G, and other drawings on the page, show an angle brace, F732B. The actual piece I made a year or more ago is a piece of flat 1/8" aluminum. After digging through the instructions for a half-hour or so trying to find the directions for building the part, I pulled out the full size drawing to see details a bit better. Hmmm... *That* drawing detail G shows a flat piece of metal, F732H. The two drawings have the same rev# & date. I'm hoping that the 'H' means I'm good to go, but has anyone talked to Van's about this?
