original... and then never changed the dimensions shown to build the fin to.
Is your fin already on the fuselage Joel? If not you can slot the existing
holes that the bottom hinge is bolted to... so you can move it down an 1/8th
or so...and make a little doubler to go behind the fin spar with clean holes
to hold the hinge there and rivet this doubler to the spar with a few
rivets. If the fin is already on the fuselage..... and I've done it a few
times over the years... take a piece of raw stock angle and make a new upper
hinge with a longer bolt face.

Either that or my hinges are to close together. I can shove it in but
it's a tight fit and has lots of drag. Even tighter with the plastic
washer Wayne sent me some time back. looking for options to fix it. I
could remove the top hinge and use a small round file to make the spar
holes into 'slots' for a bit of adjustment. I could grind a small
amount off the faces of both hinges. Or maybe I should bite the bullet
and fab a new top hinge that has more clearance. What do you guys
think? Anyone dealt with this? Thanks much,
Joel
