This is my first letter, so bear with me.  I am a first time builder building a ES with a slow build kit.  The stab went together reasonably well, but I have had a difficult time trying to position the elevator bottom skin and spar  so there is no contact.  I am nearly there on the elevator up  travel but it seems like there is no way on the down travel, especially out near the tips of the elevator.  when I look at the clearance from the end I can't see how the top skin can fit on at all.  I am reluctant to sand the bottom skin to increase the space, because the manual says to try to leave at least 1 inch of joggel for bonding. I would appreciate any hints from those of you who got by this area.
