Assembled the vertical stabilizer while waiting for a reply from Van's. Chee Wei was a great help in assembling the stabilizer. Match drilled all holes. Discovered that there is a crease in the vertical stabilizer skin while removing the blue plastic. ARGH!!! Lesson 2 - really look over parts carefully when they come out of the box. Not just a quick overlook - check for creases, dents, shipping damage, etc. They are costly if overlooked in the first few days after shipping.
