Walt,

According to Mark Mahnke (and I agree) what is important here is that the bottom of the right hand rudder skin when mounted on the right hand vertical stab is flush with the bottom of the fuselage. FYI-- the predrilled holes for the bearing blocks on the rudder are off by 1/8". You can get the top two bearing blocks in OK  and rudder hinges in to match but the bottom one (with about four nutplates each) is a MF. I had the same problem with my right hand stab/ elevator. Do a trial fit first to determine which one needs to be relocated before you go to the trouble to hysol in nutplates. DOH!!  as Homer Simpson would say.
