Sure you got your doubler flipped the right way? Since there is
one alignment hole for the attach bracket and two rivets above that,
if it's upside down you'll have 3 non-matching holes per half, 6 total.
I honestly don't remember if these were drilled through or not, though.
Check the spars themselves...if every hole in the spar is finding one
in the doubler, I would press on...

Glen,
Seems like I remember a couple of holes not being drilled in the HS spar. I
would recommend studying the drawing carefully and if rivets are called out
for those "undrilled" holes then just match drill them with the existing
doubler plate holes while you have it clecoed on the spar. The rivet
call-outs are tricky here, so it does require careful attention. Hope this
helps.

Hi Glen,
I did my empennage a long time ago and my memory is not what I'd like it to
be. I do remember, I think, the first thing you actually make is the 2 little
attach angles that attach the stab to the fuselage. I do know that if you
turn the spar upside down, attach the angles on the top rather than the bottom,
they fit but not correctly. That was my first call to tech support. Very
embarrassing. However they didn't laugh, and they did encourage me to call
anytime. I did and they were always helpful. If I give you any advise, it would
be
to do the same. Those guys are really great.
