All-
Working it out with various listers. Will post a procedure once I come up with something workable. This is another one of those gaps in the manual. To begin with, looks like one should wait until rear top skins are installed.

Q For all those people that were talking about adjusting the Horizontal stab when flight testing.
how much messing about with the saddle was required for each change?
Did you have to buy a new fiberglass saddle each time ?
Could you flight test it without the saddle? get the right angle and then install the saddle?
Chris.

Definitely Bill. Wait until you hav ethe rear top skin at least clecoed in place so you can work out how the saddle sits on the H-stab and how the saddle's forward edge mates up with the aft edge of the rear top skin. I jumped in a separate piece of .016 to allow me to cut the aft edge of the rear top skin far enough forward so that the H-stab can be placed and removed in a vertical path compatible with the brackets.

Chris,
Don't get side-tracked on stab position and stick with the drawing. Fly
it with the saddle in place and
let it go at that. Few people find the 601s stab a problem after the
build. More likely you'll find a CG problem
that needs to be taken care of before testing. Make sure you get that
right.

I adjusted the rear hor. stab. mounts. No need to do anything to the
saddle.

I installed my saddle yesterday and here's what I did.
From the plans, I plotted and drew out the top half
of the HT rib on a piece of cardboard. I cut that out
and used it to transfer the curve to the bottom of the
saddle with a sharpie. Sanded to the line and had a
nearly perfect fit. A little fine tuning and it was
ready to drill and cleco.

Rich-
Hmm. More than one way to skin a cat. I was going to level the saddle
and duct tape it directly on the stab. Then run a Sharpie line using a
spacer to get an acceptable height.
If nothing else, we're getting a lot of ideas into the archives. When I
looked this morning, there wasn't much to speak of.

I didn't have to make any changes to the saddle after re-pitching my
stabilizer. I did have to do some trimming to the rear end of the rear
top skin.
