Horizontal Stabilizer Dimensions... Frustration!

For plans builders... Our experience was that the nose ribs on the horizontal stabilizer were 3 mm too long. If you shorten the nose ribs from the back, make sure you make the forward flange wider to leave enough edge distance for the forward rivet. You can lengthen the tip ribs, but then you have to lengthen the skin. Three sets of nose ribs later, stabs are complete.
