Default Dynaflite Decathlon plans error

My Dynaflite Decathlon plans show the planking between #1 & #2 formers on the lower belly pan flush with the top of #1 and over the top of #2. When built properly the planking goes over the top of both formers. This results in a fuselage depth of at least 3/32 greater than shown on the plans. Probably more as the stock in my kit is definitely on the heavy side. The cowl dimensions match the plans which means it is too tight. Scratched my head for days until discovering the error. Maybe accounts for the many web comments about trouble fitting the cowl. I notified Great Planes.
