I have trimmed the elevator tip so that it fits properly around the lead counterweight, but I have run into another problem. It seems that when i insert the tip, the counterweight arm rib stops the tip from being inserted all the way, leaving a 1/8 gap all around. If I squeeze the tip, I can get it in all the way, but then the flutes on the counterweight arm then push the tip down and away from the predrilled holes on the skin.
Also, measuring the distance from the predrilled holes to the counterweight rib, I get only .20 instead of the required .25, so it seems like trimming the edge of the tip won't work either.
Any ideas?
