Vertical stabilizer wood install question.

The top piece of wood sets under or on top of the two welded tabs on the front of it?

Harlan - I put mine on top.

Thanks Darrell. I wasn't sure if something went there later that mattered.

Hi Harlan,

FWIW, I thought it made common sense to mount that on top of the tabs also, even though I believe the diagram in the manual shows it on the bottom. Guess what... my elevator push/pull tube actually slightly touched/rubbed on the back edge of that cutout with full aft stick position. I had to go in after the fact and enlarge the opening to the rear a little. This was after I was through with covering and doing final assembly. It wasn't a real big deal, but I couldn't stand the thought that the tube would be rubbing against the wood there. If I had mounted it as I believe it's shown in the build manual I don't think it would have been a problem. That was my experience anyway. I'm sure I mentioned /documented that previously somewhere on this forum.

Thanks John very much for that infomation.

Same experience as John.

Also same as John.

Thanks guys!

I'll be checking my tomorrow. Glad this forum exists!!
