Hi Guys,
I was wondering when riveting trim hinge to trim tab if all three items being the
skin, hinges and trim tab spar are dimpled or is hinge countersunk ?
Thank you

IIRC, dimple the skin, c-sink the spar, and don't do diddly to the hinge.
Same setup when you rivet the flap hinge to the wing. Wing skin is dimpled, brace
is c-sunk, hinge is left alone.

Thanks Dan,
Also, with rod end bearing for attaching elevator to HS. To get all perfectly in
line did you just count the amount of rotations on each as it threads into the
plate nut ?.

Sort of. Van's plans call out suggested dimensions for the rod end bearing, distance
from the spar or something like that.
My 2 cents is -- don't sweat it until you're ready to mount the rudder on the VS
permanently. Then you just make sure you have (a) alignment of all the rod
ends with the hinge brackets, (b) rod ends adjusted to provide full range of rudder
travel without any chafing or interference, (c) counterweight arm is aligned
with the top of the VS and doesn't interfere.
