Just thought i would mention for those building. I thought my elevator travel was uninhibited. But when i put my stab full leading edge up i saw that the elevator pushrod was getting caught on the vertical stab rib. So now i have to put more of a relief cutout in that rib. Not a big deal, but would have been easier before covering.

I appreciate that report Ken. Didn't check for that when I had my horizontal & elevator on... I've made a note to check next time they are on. Thanks!

Ken how much of the rib did you end up cutting out? Do you have any pictures?
