When I mounted the elevator trim servo to the cover/support plate in the bottom of the left elevator in accordance with the dimensions given on the plan, the servo shaft is lined up with about the edge of the slot for the pushrod, rather than centered on it. Shouldn't be too difficult to fix, either redrill for the servo support angles, probably meaning a wait for the new plate from Van's, or leave it where it is and widen the slot when installing the pushrod later. I guess I am just a little surprised because this is the first thing in the empennage that has not lined up perfectly; even the elevator horns that have been ill fitting for some were spot on without having to mess with the spar bends at all.
Anybody else run across this? Am I expecting too much perfection without having to make any corrections to the plans?
(No, I did not measure for the support bracket from the wrong side of the plate, though that would be easy to do from the plan detail that looks up at the bottom of the skin instead of down from the top.)
Like DaX, a ramblin reck and a helluva engineer.
