Gentlemen,
I'm doing the initial fit of the elevators to the horizontal on my -8. The instructions say to ensure the elevators swing freely with no interference... Both elevators' counterbalance arms extend forward into the horizontal skins 15/16" and I cannot figure out why. I have rechecked the rod bearing centerline measurement to the spar and have exactly 13/16" as per the plans. I saw on Dan's site that he had to trim the right skin to allow the right elevator to swing, so I am tempted to do the same. However, I'm concerned that if mine are too far forward that I won't be able to get the elevators to balance. Any insight would be appreciated.
