trimming of rudder/elevator horns

[schaumr]

Hello Everyone,

While installing my right elevator, and checking for 25 degrees down (up is no
issue) as per the manual, the elevator horn is making contact with the
stabilizer spar, and limits movement to only 15 degrees down. Before filing
anything off, I thought I'd ask if anyone else has run into this, since I'm not
even sure one actually needs more than 15 degrees down.....

I have a similar situation with the rudder, in that the horn itself was installed
somewhat asymmetrically. As a result, one side hits the 'stop' bolt as per
plans, the other contacts the TS001 fitting (the way it used to be, I believe,
before the stop bolts were introduced). I was going to follow others and add
the "L-angle stop" under the stop bolt, but again, I am doublechecking that
the option of filing down the horn to clear the TS001 is truly off the table.

Thanks in advance...hope everyone is enjoying the break.
I'm at the inlaws in Montreal until new year's day. Ugh :(
....I'd rather be building.

....anyone got a project in the Montreal area I can visit/talk shop with? Jean
Poirier is already flying isn't he?
