I know that the total number of people who have done this step before me is small, but I'm hoping someone will be able to offer some help. On page 12-04 step 1, we mark a point 3-1/8" down from the front edge of the rudder bottom fairing and use that point to align the template to trim the fairing for clearance from the tailwheel spring. The drawing in figure 1 shows the entire rudder bottom fairing's top edge as being flush all the way around other than the rudder horn cutouts. The actual scribe line on the rudder bottom fairing has a dip through the front edge, lower than the side edges aft of the rudder horn.
The question is this: Do you mark the point 3-1/8" from the scribe line or from the plane formed by the side top edges of the fairing?
