If you review your assembly manual, I believe it addresses the elevator horn
misalignment, which is normal. I think there is also a note on this on
drawing 27A. The procedure calls for making a drill guide out of hardwood
or aluminum to ensure that the pushrod attach hole is drilled square to both
horns.

--> RV7-List message posted by: "David Figgins" <2004nospam@earthlink.net>
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
