I have been working on the empennage attach for my RV-7 and after having all the bolts line up with perfect edge distance, I have decided to take another set of measurements now that everything has been deburred / primed and bolted down. Unfortunately it looks like a few things shifted around a bit -
Horizontal Stabilizer - 1/8" forward on the right side measuring over 164" from the corners of the firewall
Vertical Stabilizer - 3/32" to the left measuring over the 62" from the tip of the VS to the tips of the HS.
Rudder hinge line - Top hinge bracket is forward about 1/8" when lined with the lower two brackets. I compensated for thisby extending the top rod bearing on the rudder by 1.5 turns.
Should I be concerned about the flying properties of the plane, or am I just trying to find something to worry about since all the edge distances came out fine???
Thanks,
Chris
