I'm building the tail cone of an RV-12is right now and I have not had any alignment problems with stiffeners.

If you can be more specific... what part is not aligning with what part... I'll try to help you.

Jyuma, I realize the thread is old, but I?m working with a 5 year old RV-12 empennage kit, so his experience (and the guidance from Vans) would be pertinent.

I was asking Wolfgang specifically because I experienced an identical issue to what he had reported having a problem with - Page 10-06 Step 4 and getting the J-Stiffeners F-1283A & B to align with the J channels of the lower skins.

Oh... I didn't realize the kits in question were old. Mine is brand new, just got it on March 14th. Sorry.
