Ok, I hope this isn't too dumb of a question: I'm assembling a 4* 40 arf, and when I inserted the metal tab that holds the tailwheel (stock hardware) into the fuse, it didn't quite go in all the way it seems. Now, when trying to attach the rudder to the vertical stab, to keep it even up and down the rudder will be about 1/8" from the stab (the bottom of the rudder is slotted a little bit to fit over the end of the metal tab mentioned above and a section of the tailwheel wire bends to horizontal to fit into a pre-drilled hole in the rudder). I'm guessing this much space between the stab and rudder might cause an issue. I'm trying to trim some of the bottom of the rudder to allow some more room and this is about as close as I've gotten it (gained a little ground). Wanted to see if any of you more experienced guys could offer up some advice if I've explained it well enough.

Thanks in advance
