HDS People-

     I'm at a loss here. My upper  rear longeron tracks straight along the top edge and over the inboard rear  former, but is a good 1/8" from contacting the top of the former closest the  tail. Former and side skin dimensions are well within ± 2mm of print. Yes,  everything's level.

     What do you think? Shim the top  of the tail former, or bend the longeron down to make contact with the tail  former?

Bill,



I'm not "HDS People," but I think the XL is about the same in the tail end.  That's really beside the point.  



I would always go with shimming in preference to bending.  Just my opinion, FWIW.

Bill,

Not knowing exactly how complete your tail segment is yet, but I'd make 

that decision when all the rudder and stab plates have been

positioned. Do consider the spacing of the rudder hinge plates and the 

distance needed between pivot angles on your rudder.  Check for 

alignment and hinge distance and adjust by shim or shim plus deflection 

accordingly.
