Greetings:
The construction of my RV8A (RV7 and RV9 are the
same) the Rudders Top Rib swings OVER the top Rib of
the VS. There is suppose to be a "Gap" between the
two Ribs so that there is no interference (rubbing of
them together) as the Rudder is moved.
My question is - how do you set this Gap up ???

On mine, I had to file the top of the VS down a bit to get the needed
gap. Given the pre-punched holes, there isn't a lot you can play with,
other than changing how far the rod ends are screwed in, move the top ones
a bit further out than the bottom (keeping them in line of course).
