"Trial fit" my elevators and rudder today... used undersized bolts (didn't want to drill for required bolts yet... will do that for final assembly).
My elevators have much less downward travel than upward travel... the downward travel is blocked by the control horns, see photo below. Is this normal? When the airplane is finally assembled, will there be another "stop" mechanicsm for elevator and rudder travel? Right now the only "stop" for rudder and upward elevator travel is when the edges of the skins touch.
