 |

Ok fellow 701 builders, I have yet another H.S./Elevator question (seems
like the closer I get to completing the tail, the more problems I have!)
I am at the point now of attaching the elevator to the H.S. I have missed
in the plans, and neglected, to place the elevator center hinge bracket
1.5mm off the center line of the H.S. I placed mine right on the center
line. What this has done is shifted the elevator over by 1.5mm due to the
bushing and washer thickness of the hinge.
I could fabricate a new hinge bracket and gusset, place them at the correct
location, and back drill the holes. (I checked and have enough material in
the flange) Or, I could leave it go.
Am I chasing the "perfect plane" by redoing the center hinge bracket, or is
this a valid concern?

Ryan. We're talking about 1/16" here. If there are no other problems other than off center I would let it go. In fact I WILL let it go. I"m about to fit my h.s. and elevator and don't recall anything about offsetting the hinge 1.5mm. It's been a while since I finished them. Maybe I did and maybe I did'nt.
Another way to look at it. There are probably a few other discrepancies here and there. 1mm this way and 1mm the other way. Law of averages says they might even out. I'll hit this point next wekend. If I'm off only .062" I'll be very happy. My 10c......Geoff
