			* Step 9: Skip this step if either (or both) of the following are true:
			** You are installing Sky Designs ER fuel tanks -- since they are two ribs wider you won't want this wire passthrough here
			** You are NOT installing the standard mechanical stall switch -- this hole is for wiring for that device.

			''Note: steps 5-8 may be less confusing with a bit of context. You are using the spar flanges as templates for drilling the J-channel stiffeners. They will not be attached to the spar in the end. After you finish step 8 you will not need the J-channel until a later section. You can debur and prime now or later.''
