What is used for aft/up elevator stop. While doing SB on tail, I noticed the elevator horn is hitting the aft vertical stab cross brace. I know this can’t be right.
Just to add a tiny bit of minutia, there can be enough variation in the elevator weldaments such that the notch could be of slightly different depths Left/Right for both controls to contact at the same time.
I thought I am the only who has this problem. If time permits, I may put a delrin plate on top of the elevator stop so the arm will hit the delrin. Something to do the for post phase 1 testing.

I thought of doing this as well, but in reality, it's just not a problem. The only time you "hit" this stop is when doing "flight controls free and correct" or if you forget to secure the aircraft on a windy day.
