Question for the experts. With all the measuring and double checking i still screwed up on the alignment of th hs. Vert its ok, but its skewed about 3/8 of an inch forward on one side. Is this going to be a problem I did not catch it untill all the holes were drilled for both hs and vs.

How did it become skewed? I'm getting ready to mount mine on my 9A and I'm assuming the HS is square since it is all prepunched and if the two vertical bars that the rear HS spar bolts to were square, then the HS should end up square.

Terry is right on, check with Van's.

Which RV are you building? I suspect the airplane will never know the difference but again, check with Van's.
