Yep that almost goes without saying. Well actually they specifically 
say that for layup D and the drawing for fig. 2-29 showing D. But the 
words for layup C say the bellcrank cutout and that is what the 
drawing for fig 2-28 show. So it would seem they very specifically 
changed the manual from the older version (If you haven't updated your 
manual you could see if the drawing has changed).

I see that Andy Ellzey saw the manual the same way as me but in the 
end did the cave method. If it weren't for the videos and your site a 
builder wouldn't be aware of the cave idea at all since there is no 
mention in the current manual. So I'm back to building a cave before 
reading the manual sent me off into the weeds. :-)

BTW the earlier email should have said the 4/2006 manual and "Even the 
widest uni is 15" wide."
