Empennage Attach ( 1 hr )
Back from 2 days at AirVenture (& 3 days in Door County). Learned a few vital details from Van's crew, plus valuable time exploring Dynon and Garmin for avionic options. While not planning to purchase until much later in build, I needed to start clarifying and comparing (kind of mind boggling at first...but I'm starting to know what questions to ask !)
Rec'd confirmation from Van's Product Support on Mon, July 25 A-OK with elevator set up...so ready to proceed. Had to drill out E-bushing from .120" diameter hole to fit #30 drill (about .006" larger)...which was not mentioned in instructions. Clamped a 7.1mm wood spacer between Elev Horn and Inboard Hinge Bracket, then drilled hole in Horn per Step 4. Ready to repeat for RH side and enlarge both to 1/4", but our swimming pool was calling !
