Subject: RV6-List: Installing the Vertical Fin on a RV-6AQ

After installing the vertical fin on my RV-6AQ I find that the rear edge 
of the vertical fin is 3/16 - 1/4 inch forward of the rear edge of 
fuselage skins.  I assuming that rear edge of the fuselage skins is to 
be trimmed to match that of vertical fin.  

Is this correct?  I have not found anything in the plans or instructions 
that addresses this.

Thanks.

If your rear spar lines up with the rear bulkhead (it must, or how did you
mount it?) then everything is fine.  Trim the trailing edges to match.  I
waited until I fit the empennage fairing and then trimmed everything at
once.
