Just a quick question, finishing the rudder installation and the
dimension callout for the 3 rod end bearings appears to put the rudder
at an angle to the VS rather than parallel, as the dimensions increase
from top to bottom, is this correct? Or am I reading the drawing
incorrectly?

It's been a while since I mounted mine, but I think its because the 
rudder is tapered (fatter at the bottom) & the spar isn't parallel to 
the rolled leading edge.
