Apparently, that notch didn&#8217;t relieve enough stress, or I missed deburring a critical bit.  Anyway, all I had to do was round out the stress relief notch to the size of a #10 drill bit and the crack went away.  After thoroughly deburring that and double-checking all the other tight corners and edges, I&#8217;m ready to close the trim tab.   I&#8217;m going to go ahead and finish building this trim tab, but I have an email in to Van&#8217;s.   I suspect they&#8217;ll tell me to drill out the crack and build on.
