I am preparing to drill the lower portion of the elevator horns that I may install the pushrod. Instructions have you clamp the elevators "in trail" with the HS, then drill away and use a wood block to do the other side.
What I have seen is that there can be up to 0.5 degree difference in the two elevators based on clamp location along the HS/Elevator counterweight area (based on how the skin is sitting, etc.). It would appear that clamping "in trail" is not a perfect procedure.
Getting perfect flight control alignment is something I am willing to spend some time on. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to achieve perfect "in trail" alignment prior to drilling? I'm a little uncomfortable with the clamp method.
Thanks,
Scott
