I'm getting ready to drill the elevator horns (Section 11-3). I taped the elevator counterbalance arms to the horizontal stabilizer as called out in the plans. I then looked at the trailing edges. The trailing edge of the left elevator is 1/2" higher than the right!
It seems to me it's more important that the trailing edges are lined up with each other rather than the counter balance arms lining up with the horizontal stabilizer. I'm thinking the plans should have us clamp the trailing edges of the elevators before drilling the horns.
What do you guys think?
