Ive mounted my horizontal stabilizer. I was checking the up travel and down travel, I don't have enough down travel. The prints state the up travel is 2.5 deg +- 1/2 deg and down travel 4 deg +- 1/2 deg. I have 3 deg up and 3 deg down.
The way I checked was leveling the fuselage buy using a digital level placed on the bottom of the door frame and leveled. Then I placed the level on the rear seat crossover tube to level lateral axis. I checked the tubes the firewall mounts to and it's plumb.
I moved my level to the horizontal stab and adjusted the stab to level condition. Adjusted full down and recorded 3 degrees with the cross over link tube on the yoke bottomed out on top longeron. Adjust full up and recorded 3 degrees. The drawings state the degrees is in reference to horizontal centerline. What am I missing?
