Drilled opposite Elev Horn using Drill Guide Block. Checked T.E. alignment: close but not perfect (I jigged with straight edges to hold TE in alignment, so surprised wasn't dead on) So I contacted Van's builder support, and discussed with Scott Risan. He advised A-OK, within normal range. Good news because difficult to modify now !
Sect 11-05 to Position and bolt on Horiz Stab to Aft Fuselage. Drilled four 1/4" holes through Rear Spar of HS, and bolted on Vert Stab Bracket. The mounting hole for V.S. is off-center slightly to left about 5 mm...as noted in instructions. (offsets left turning from engine and prop torques. This is a clever way to do it, and was probably easily adjusted in prototypes built to allow for revision)
