Does anyone know where to get rocker switches that have engraved I.D.'s on the
switches themselves??? I have seen them but do not recall who has them....
Thanks,
Larry, RV-7A working

I have just finished installing the elevators on my RV-7 and after making
sure all the dimensions were correct and the elevators were true and
symmetrical (they are within 1/16 of each other) I find that the elevator
horns do not line up exactly (they are off by approx 3/16). I cannot find
any area where these could be riveted off angle so I have to conclude that
the powder coated horn assemblies are not exact. Is this a problem that
others have experienced? I do not see how I can replace the horns at this
stage and so I am somewhat stumped.
Appreciate any advice

Dave,
Are you talking about the clocking (rotation) of the horns to one another? If
so mine have a slight mismatch.

They do not line up if you look at them from the top, I have since measured
the distance from the rear of the stab to the first spar rivet line on the
elevators and it was off on the left elevator (not parallel) so I adjusted
the bearing rods to get left and right the same, the horn misalignment is
now only about 1/8.

Dave,
Don't worry much about it. From what I've been told, it's just the way
these weldments are made. 1/8" misalignment is basically no misalignment at
all for this application.
Get them as close as you can, while keeping the elevator to HS clearance the
same (or as close to it as possible) on both sides. You can phenagle it
slightly by adjusting the rod ends -- which it sounds like you already have.
When you've got it as close as possible, drill the center bearing pivot hole
in each horn. Just be as precise as you can when drilling that hole.
FWIW, I used a 1/4" OD #40 ID drill bushing that I bought from McMaster Carr
(http://www.mcmaster.com), and that sure helps to make sure you've got
perfect holes drilled at the center bearing. I did one elevator at a time,
putting the bushing through the bearing -- allowing me to pinpoint that #40
pilot hole in each horn.
My elevators are smooth and loose as a goose despite the slight misalignment
of the horns I had before drilling. Just do your best and move on.

Dave:
Mine do not line up as well. From what I hear, it's a very common thing.
When you drill the hole for the
elevator push rod, you just make sure the elevators line up! :)
