Brief Description: Mount HS for hole location marking.
Time to mount the HS to the fuselage for trial fit at to also mark hole locations for the forward and rear HS spar.
3 things have to be done to mount the HS in the correct position.
1- HS tips adjusted fore/aft. 2- HS tips level up and down. 3- HS incidence.
Here I address step 1, The HS tips must be the same distance to the fuselage firewall. Lucidly I had 2 of the exact same tape measure. As you can see from the pictures I clamped both ends of the tape. One end to a cleco on the forward fuselage and other end to the tip of the HS. I measures to the trailing edge of the 3rd rivet on the HS. Adjusted to get the same measurement on both tape measures.
