OK, this might be a stupid question. I bought my tail kit unstarted from another builder, and I have it completed now. However, I had this little plate in my kit, and just thought it was something the previous builder had done themselves.
Now, I have noticed this odd little plate included in several other tail kits that have came up for sale here on the forums, so I am questioning just what this thing is and if its something Van's ships with all the empennage kits.
Here are some photos of it:
I can sort of guess what some of the holes are for, like sizing AN3 and AN4 bolts. But the string of holes drilled diagonally across the plate are cryptic, especially since they are missing a few numbers in the sequence (-18, -28, -29, etc).
Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks!
