Empennage

Empennage Attach  ( 1 hr )

New Section 11, Empennage Attach started with installation of 4 rod bearings in Elevator ( 2 each LH and RH).  Instructions state 13/16" from spar surface to hole center - which is kinda tricky to measure - but confident got them consistently all at 13/16". (Van's instructions:  "as close as possible" does leave tolerance up to builder - so 'eye ball exact' was my criteria)
From straight above, and w/ swivel centered, does measure 13/16"
