Default Electra Rudder Help

Anybody ever run into this?? When the vertical fin is mounted, I havent glued it yet, I get very little left deflection from the control surface. It hits the fuse and I only get 10-12mm out of it. Manual calls for 1.250"..I guess I could sand but as you can see from one of the pics there is not much material there..Hoping someone has run into this..Thanks..

Erik,
This is how it is done.
Sand a small bevel on the right hand side of the bottom surface of the rudder as shown in the photographs.
A small amount is all that is required to keep the bottom of the rudder from running into the fuselage.
