Hi All,
What I'm sure is a simple question, but I'd prefer a second, third and fourth opinion
I'm building the RV14 rudder and up to page 07-03 Step 1 which states:
"Remove the sharp edge on the top flange of the R-405PD Rudder Horn as shown in Figure 1 to allow it to nest inside the bend radius of the forward flange of the R-00904A-1 Bottom Rib. See Figure 2."
So if I interpret the plans correctly - they're asking me to file down or shave away some material from the top surface (straight edge) of part R-405PD
(red line in figure 1 attached). Doing so would allow the rib more clearance in the (roughly 100degree bend) Shown in the second photo.
What are your thoughts? / What did you do?
