I'm putting together my U-Can-Do and when sighting the span of the horizontal stab (from the rear) to its alignment with the wing, one end of the stab is down slightly when screwed in place. Has anyone had and/or fixed this problem? I'm thinking of sanding or shimming the fuselage saddle (flat surface the horiz stab mounts to). What did you guys do? Or should I not worry about it?
Been there, down that!
My elevstor alignment (to main wing) was off a bit also. All I needed to do was gently sand the high side of the saddle until it allowed the elevator to align with the wing. As flimsy as the elevator is (built-up), I also opted to screw the elevator down vice glue. If you glue it, you will have a very tough time replacing it in the event of a accident.
