Started arranging for the VS offset. The tip is offset 1/4 from the centerline to compensate for the P-factor during cruise. Other airplanes have offset engine mount, this is just another way to solve the same problem.
I did drill the tie-in bracket, but I am not happy with the edge distance on the VS front spar. I plan to make a new one as I have bending brake and 0.063 sheet available.
