Regarding the alignment of the actuator. The facatory sent this photo and description for the fix.
The assembly in the manual is for reference.. the number of washers is not
necessarily what will be used. That being said you do want at least one
washer.
You'll find that if you place a AN3 bolt through the holes in the fuselage
tabs then take a Crescent wrench over the tab you can bend both tabs
slightly and keep the alignment of the mounting holes. (see pic) The amount
needed will be very minor to have the top of the actuator line up.
We typically shift the actuator to one side and a thin plus a plastic
washer.
Static ports are part of the pitot-static system that gives air pressure to the airspeed, altimeter and rate of climb instruments.
The "port" is the opening to get this static air pressure signal.
Good question.
Here's a good text to learn about small aircraft. This book has been the standard for over 40 years. Available from the online book stores for about $13 or download it for free from the FAA, about 100 MB. It is the book I used for my Private Pilot in 1969 and now use with my student pilots. Updated by the FAA from an advisory circular to an official handbook.

Before I trim the vertical stabilizer trailing edge (fairing) I wanted to check were exactly to trim. It appears that trimming at the bottom of the rib is the spot but, ascetically trimming to the bottom of the tubing (fuselage) just above the tailwheel mounting plate (looks like it will make installing the tailwheel harder and might complicate the covering process?) might be better? I attached a pic with arrows, appreciate any input. Thanks.
Sabre,
I trimmed mine to the upper arrow on your photo.

Same with my trim, the upper mark on the wood rib
Sabre,
Here is a pre-covering photo of the area you are asking about (It is upside down compared to your photo) - The fairing was cut at what would be the upper option on your photo, and, the area forward of the bolt plate was filled in to make a smooth transition.
It's a trigear but the bolt plate is the same for the tailspring or tailskid.

Sabre- I just trimmed my fairings to the upper arrow in your picture this afternoon. Mounted the rudder and they match up nicely and it looks great.
