Tip: Vertical stabilizer trimming

Just a heads up if you haven't trimmed your vertical stabilizer yet. I recently installed mine, in the first step the plans have you trim the lower edge of the front spar by 5/8". On mine (and after researching I found that others have run into this as well) 5/8 was too much. After trimming close to 5/8, I didn't have enough edge distance at the lower holes. I would recommend only trimming 1/4" or so, and then trim more if needed when fitting. Hope this helps someone who is coming to this stage.
