I am gonna pat Ron and Tony on the back - good memories! I had to go hunt that info down. Rick, make sure you take a look at the revision log spreadsheet on the builders documentation folder. Here is the link if you need it....http://tinyurl.com/mjrbuve

Yes, this problem surfaced with the early kits. I cured mine with a small bend. Fits nice and tight now.

Rick,

Good catch!

From a Rachel posting on 9/15/13:

... trim the spar channel to 3/8 inch below the last rivet hole. This fix is already implemented in future kit parts. This is correctly depicted on the plans sheet.

No clue what I had for breakfast this morning, but I remember everything about all 1082 posts that have been made

Before I butcher one of my beautiful tail kit parts please take a look at the pictures below and tell me if I need to shorten the bottom of the P-T-VT-fwd spar channel. It overlaps the stiffener at the bend and you can see light between the parts.

Thanks
