Okay,,, another stupid freaking mistake.... (I feel like I confess my sins here at least once a week)
Closed up all my empennage last week after the "pre-cover" inspection, this week I've been fitting fiberglass and testing fit of the empennage components.
heres the aarrrgg (besides the rudder eye's not allowing the rudder to swing without interference at the top of the vs).....the inboard elevator hinges are one set of holes too far towards the out board end. Sooooo,, the elevator does not line up for installation.
a possible solution, drill out the rivets and re-install the inboard hinges with BSPQ 5-4 pops?.... I really don't want to take the hs apart. While I'm waiting on 18:30 est to pass so I can call Vans,,, anyone think this would be okay?
