Brief Description:  01 - Horizontal stabiliser

Horizontal stabiliser

One of the two factory fuselage jigs had a sight twist ... and I guess mine was made on that jig, since I needed a slightly thicker shim (by 0.036") on the LHS than the right. No biggie, since the HS and VS need to be set relative to the wings, not so much the aft end of the fuselage.

I fabricated a single shim from a stack of 3 layers on the left and 2 on the right, double countersunk and then riveted. Then I linished the upper surface so that it was parallel across the upper surface, completing the taper. It worked out perfectly according to my micrometer verniers :-)
