I do not have the plans with me but if I recall if you read the elevator
section it talks about potentially cutting the rear spar flange to allow
full travel of the elevator/horns, it make the point about NOT removing any
spar material just the flange.

Dan,

I'm also an RV-7 newbie, but I believe the dimension you are looking for is
on DWG 3, where it is shown as "~1" which I take to mean approximately one
inch. 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.

Well, I just got my Empennage Kit and I'm hard at it drilling out the
Horizontal Stab's.  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?


Thanks,
