Default esm models Katana 40

Hi, i am currently building this model, but have come to a bit of a problem,

1. The wings are supposed to be pre-cut for the servo leads to come out of, all you have to do is cut the covering off the hole, but mine doesnt seem to have these pre-cut holes as said in the instruction manual, and yes i have built abut 20 arf's so i know that i have looked decently enough to find the holes but am still having troubles, can anyone tell me what i should do about this problem, or can some one give me measurements off their own plane, so i can try and find the holes that way. if not ill just have to cut into the balsa/ply.

2. second question is, because of this being a 1 peice wing, unlike my cap 232 where you run the leads down through the wing then into the holes is easy, because you can access each wing panel before glueing, but with this being a 1 peice wing, what is the easiest way to get the leads from the servo hole to the center holes...

A length of string and 1/4x20 nut. That will let you tape the servo extension to the string and pull it back thru, just like those other arf's.
