Posted for "Mario Gonzalez" <avidmario@hotmail.com>:
After closing the elevator I found out that it's twisted, comparing both both elevator leading edges (counterweight compartments) they are almost 1/4 of an inch off due to the twist. What can I do? can it be corrected? does fiberglass bend under pressure with heat and time? do I need to start all over? I'll apreciate any advice.

[Sounds like the elevator weldment is installed incorrectly.  Do the trailing edges align and is the leading edge of the elevator centered on the trailing edge of the stab across its entire length?  Only reason I ask is that I had a similar problem when I was building my horizontal tail and had to relocate the weldment on one side to fix it.  Please give us a little more detail so a proper solution can be suggested.
