Hi all, when i built the tailfeathers on my LT-25, I noticed that the back of my horizontal stab and the front of my elevator don't run quite parallel. Luckily, though they're not hinged yet. At first I thought surely I built the horizontal stab wrong, but when I got out my trusty metal straight-edge, the stab was very nearly straight, and the elevator definately curved away from the straightedge when I held one edge of it flat against the straight-edge.

My first instinct is to just sand the elevator until it's straight, but the only problem is that the elevator piece comes to a point, it's not flat on the face that's slightly curved.

Is it better to sand it straight, and just give up the pretty V shape, or should I just leave the elevator alone and hinge it as-is? The over-all curve is probably between 1/16 and 1/8".
