Default RCUNIVERSE Flatout Biplane bottom wing hinge line problem

There are no relief cutouts for the c3 retainer rings in the bottom wing. In the review @ RCU it does mention that the diagonal brace for the rear of the bottom wing doubles as the retainers/brace. However the pictures clearly show that the C-3 retainer rings are just off to the side of the control horn. With that...also the lower wing ailerons have hinge cutouts in the wrong location placing the center of the two inboard hinges right smack in the middle of the rear wing C.F. brace block (D-2).
I have been building for years, but I hate to see problems like this come up and smite, so heads up guys. I am making a modification which will move the inboard hinges out of the D2 brace area which will make it look like the picture. Incidentally the top wing is OK
