Another point: It really irritates me that now I am told that I must trim the end of the gear channel 2 or 3 mm to clear the weld on the gear support bracket. It would be a major problem, at this point, to take the gear channel out of the assembly to do this trimming.
If you can still hold the gear channel in your hand, I would suggest that you do this trimming before the channel is "buried" in the fuselage!

Amen to that. This re-inforces the rule, "Read ahead, WAY ahead." Read your ENTIRE assembly guide AND all your prints before doing any work, and you'll save yourself a huge headache in the future. I lucked out in that I first assembled my 601XL virtually in 3D CAD. Anything that didn't fit so well, or protruded through another part un-naturally, could be trimmed or adjusted prior laser cutting.
One note though, some of the parts should not be trimmed prior to assembly, as each aircraft is going to be unique. I may need to trim 2mm, where you may need only 1mm or less in certain places.
