[Elecraft] K2: Suggestion: Form power transistor leads before populating board

When I put the voltage regulators on the control board, I first mounted 
them upside down so that I could judge the best place to bend the leads. 
  When I reached the driver transistor, there were two many components 
in the way, with the result that I didn't get the optimum position. 
Could I suggest that the assembly instructions either specify forming 
the leads whilst the board is still clear, or that a 1:1 scale template 
is included.
