<<Additionally, the rudder sits on three "hinge pins" .  The hinge
pins are mounted to phenolic block on the vertical stabilizer.  This was all
done in the Philippines.  Only 2 of my 3 hinge pins line up to accept the
bolts.>>

On my ES I had to reset hinge brackets on about 5 out of the 7 control
surfaces.  I assume that since the hinges were installed with the structure
open something moved slightly when it was closed.  It was not a big deal,
but did take time.  It might have been better if they had only bedded in the
two end points and left the center one to be done by the builder.  It would
have saved me time.
