Hi Paul I will follow you with interest. I met you at the KR gathering last fall. When the wx gets warmer I am going to restart my construction after a 10 year hiatus. I cut my spars to the length in the plans and plan on the balancing horns. One of the things I noticed is that the stab/elevator rib templates go all the way back to trailing edge but if you look at the plans,
I also noticed it too. What I'm going to do is to shape the t/e without the V Then after the foam is shaped. I will cut the T/E portion of the rib out and reposition it then cut the V out.

I cut my spars to the length in the plans and plan on the balancing horns. One of the things I noticed is that the stab/elevator rib templates go all the way back to trailing edge but if you look at the plans, they want a thicker piece of plywood on the elevator and offset to give rudder left/right clearance...have you seen this? I can see using the templates to install the hinges and keeping all three spars aligned then cutting off the back of the template & doing the offset rib for the elevator. Is this what you are planning on doing? r/Bernie Lusby, MD KR2S Builder ----- Original Message ----- From: <ppaulvsk at aol.com> To: "KRnet" <krnet at list.krnet.org> Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2014 1:48 PM Subject: KR> horizontal stabilizer length: > I'm cutting my horizontal stabilizers spars today.
