Vertical stabilizer doesn't touch front of HS
Hello again....just to see how it's shaping up, I set the vertical stabilizer on the horizontal stabilizer. The front is just about 3/16" in the air. There are 3/16" pieces at the three locations where the VS bottom meets the HS. Is something wrong?

Is it covered before attaching to the HS...or is it all put together and then covered?doug bryant wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 1:12 pm this is my seventh piet and i just leave the space as it is much easier to cover. but, shiming can be done.

assemble entire aircraft, check it about three times, then disassemble and cover.
