The plans (page 2) show 23" from the center of the horizontal stabilizer to the center of the fitting. If I do that, the spruce strip is in the way, almost exactly there.
Do I raise the fitting 1.5"? Or do I lower the strip?
What did you do (if you came across this)?
Thank you.

Re: Upper Brace Wire Fitting
I moved the plywood doublers and fittings to above the fin top rib.
I suppose you could move it below as well...

Re: Upper Brace Wire Fitting
Thanks Earl. I'm going to leave the spruce strip in position per plans and raise the fitting above it (so 1.5" above plans position). The hinge works out OK above all that keeping with the plans position. Ignore the top beam in the photo....bottom beam shows the area with hinge in plans position and pencil in the spruce strip region. So, everything is in the correct spot except the fitting.
I like that quarter round on the front of the rudder.
