For some reason I'm baffled by the fabrication of these sheet metal gap covers to fit below and around the leading edge of the horizontal stab. Page 12-08 doesn't give an illustration that is very easy for me to read or understand. (I don't think it matters, but I'm building a taildragger.) I can't really determine the final shape we're going for from the instructions and illustration in the plans. The pieces obviously need to close the gap and clear the elevator horn tubes, but how?
A call to support got me their suggestion to visit Carl & Rafael's RV-14 website for a good illustration. Great website and beautiful pic's, but I sure can't find any reference to the parts in question.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or perhaps a link to a picture or some better detail for fabrication of these thin sheet metal pieces? I just can't picture the desired final shape.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
