Default Elevon Pushrods foul fins

Received my Whiplash tuesday. Can't wait to fly it.

Tuesday night applied trim colours and installed servos and horns.

Tonight I found that with the fin assembly sitting in its recess, the elevon pushrods foul the leading edge area of the fins. Looking at it, the toe-in of the horns using the pre-drilled holes puts the pushrods at such an angle that there is approx 1/4" clearance between the pushrod and the fin LE, but this means that the servos (JR 8411s) are currently positioned about 1/2" too far inboard.

With the servos fitted in the pre-cut holes, the outer edges of the servos are in line with the fins, where I think they need to be moved out approx 1/2" to get clearance.

Has anybody else had this problem?

Apart form this, very impressed with the kit.
