Question, on drawing 3 at the AFT Exploded ISO View (3B) there is a note to "Trim horz. Stab rear spar to allow for elevator control horns to pivot...(see DWG 27A)". I looked at DWG 27A and can see the bearing and horns but no callout for a trim dimension. Is this trimmed during assembly for clearance?

That's one inch off each side. It would be easiest to do before you rivet the rear spar together, don't wait 'till afterward like I did.
