Ah, my first question: On page 75-RA-1, the rudder Horn Detail shows 13mm from the center of the pivot/mounting hole to the edge of the bottom rudder rib. When mine is in place per the pre-drilled holes, I have maybe 12mm, probably a bit less. Now slide the clecoed bottom rib and horn into the rudder spar, that dimension is at best 10mm. So if i look at page 75-ZA-2, the plate that attaches to the fuselage for the rudder pivot/mount shows 9mm from the center of it's hole to the edge of the plate. So, that leaves 1mm clearance there between the edge of the fuselage mounted plate and the rudder spar as the rudder pivots. Is this too tight?

I want to ask untill I get a feel for what is going to be a problem and what isn't.

TIA.
