Although he suggested first putting a slot at each bolt location until I am sure of its position. I also forgot to ask about the control horn spar bolt access. While we were on the subject of the elevator hinge bracket locations, he pointed out to me that the elevator spars aren't always in an ideal location. Even though I have a good horizontal centerline down the length of the face of the spar, the spar can sometimes be forward or aft of where they should be. This can cause the center of the bolt hole to be centered top and bottom, but it may be too far forward or too far aft causing a non concentric rotation of the leading edge of the elevator when rotated. This can cause the leading edge to hit the upper or lower skins, or create a gap depending on the spars location forward or aft. Looks like anouther 50 hours of taking measurements Dale Wills
