Yep, and an errata to the kit assy manual has been created. Thanks for the
comment.

All,

Thanks for the quick responses. Dick Dievendorff got back to me and
confirmed what everyone told me - use the pan head screw.

Usually the hole is countersunk if the intent is to use a flat head screw.
If the hole is NOT countersunk, I'd use a pan head, so long as the head
standing proud of the surface will not interfere with some other part(s).
