This is different on my plane. I am limited by vertical tail access hole size. Once I get the horns inside the tail the elevators can go in roughly flat. The connect through the center attach hinge very easily. A little play is available resulting from the access holes on the lower side of the elevators. These holes had to be large enough to turn an open end wrench. To reiterate a possibly obvious safety concern in this phase of the build; It is paramount that any access plate covering the vertical tail access hole have attach screws located outside the range of elevator travel. That is, imagine an attach screw for the access cover unscrewing itself half way out. It cannot interfere with the elevators. The access hole on my plane is too small. It's safe but an absolute hassle to install and remove elevators. I've chopped and bent up a couple 3/8" end wrenches to make it doable. Larry Henney LNC2 IO-360 Ft Worth, TX
