I was advised by Van's tech that the major concern is to get the wing leading edge correct using the method in manual. I did just that and the RV6A flies perfectly. For what it's worth I'd say focus on the wing and don't sweat the minor dimensional differences in the empennage.

I followed the manner described in the manual using corresponding points on the fuselage measuring to common points on the wing tips and also measurements from the wing tips to the vertical stabilizer and seem to have some inconsistencies between the two of about a half inch. Could someone please offer their opinions as to the best way to square the wings to the fuselage/vert. stab. > >Thanks, >Chuck Daus - Wings attach > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:27:28 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV6-List: Wing attachment From: Genev E Reed --> RV6-List message posted by: Genev E Reed Chuck: It sounds to me like you have the wing leading edges in a straight line but you have one leading the other. pull them back until they are equal distance to the rear coners then check again.
