Positioning and securing the horizontal stabilizer required some time in order to get a good result. We (Lucio and I) decided slightly modify the indication provided by VANS.
1. We secured the Horizontal Stabilizer to the retractable part of the bench using clamps and the screws but with a slightly different setup for the 11/32 wooden shim.
2. we used two wooden planks to secure the elevators in trail position.
The rest of the activities is as indicated. Thanks to Lucio who fabricated a new bushing using a lathe...my attempt using the drill press were acceptable but the lathe allows a perfect fabrication.
