Very interesting. I still have the plans rolled up, I'm going to take a closer look at them and see if I can get the mental picture in my head. I'm sure the flap has to come off before I can see anything of value; perhaps more--\can't really tell with the attached image and am having a hard time 'seeing it' in my mind so I'll roll out the plans tonight and take a closer look to see if it's something that I can confirm/deny without getting very invasive/taking skins off, etc.
Before you disassemble use a digital level and measure each control surface every 6 inches or so.

It's hard to eyeball twist and left/right differences.

Agreed. I don't plan on taking anything off immediately. It would appear this plane has been flying for hundreds of hours in this configuration--in light of recent information, perhaps built this way.

I've always found it easy to buy new tools, so a digital level, which I currently lack, sounds like an easy purchase that can be used many times over.
