Tail Section

Hi, I just recently finished building the tail section fo rmy TF P47 and before i put the skins on the stab, when i put the fram and the ribs on the plans to make sure everything was aligned, the ribs were off bout a couple of centimeters. I coever it anyways, and finished it and it came out fine though. The wing didnt warp and its pretty centered in the plans. Will this affect the way my plane will fly???? Thanks

RE: Tail Section

A couple of CENTIMETERS? That's a lot! About 3/4" How did you get that far off building over the plans? I assume you were.

Personally, I'd rebuild it.

Oh my bad, I meant a couple of milimeters like 1 or 2.

The ribs shouldn't have too much effect providing the airfoil wasn't compromised. I'd sheet it and don't worry about it. I hope the right/left sides are equal - right?
