<< I don't know about other planes, but about 50 percent (mine included) of a visual survey of 320s at Oshkoosh have a twist at the top of the vertical stab.  The moldings also seem to have the trailing edge of the inboard fuselage flap fairing 1/2 inch different horizontally from side to side.  Also, I don't know about the fast builds, but slow build vertical stab rib plans were not even close to the moldings -- It is possible to build a vertical lifting wing if the moldings were relied on.  >>

I'd like to know more about this.  I am going to attach my vertical stab this summer, and I had heard vague rumblings about some corrective action being warranted to ensure the VTail is straight.  If there's anyone who can shed light on this, I'd like to know more.
