looks like the rear liner tube wasn't drilled correctly when the horizontals were installed.
in other words, the horizontals were not snug against the fuselage when the rear liner tube was drilled.
that doesn’t explain why the big difference with the change in wires. The previous wires were even somewhat loose, however the tops and bottoms were tuned to each other. So I don’t suspect that one side was torqued down to pull everything to one side.
with that much slop, anything less than a properly drilled liner tube is unacceptable.
The vertical fin can wiggle, allowing what is shown in the video no matter how tight.
No you don't. The verical fin will not wiggle if there is no lateral motion in the stab mount.
Another poster said you get the wires tight enough and the side-to-side motion cannot occur. I was just stating where you can get from side to side even with very tight wires.
That is true.
It is also true that if you have space in the rear tube as in the video, with tight wires, when you move the stab back and forth, the vertical fin will move to accommodate - in the same direction.
I’d carefully check the front tube installation, too. I can’t imagine that’s correct given the movement you have at the rear.
All the input appreciated and I understand the system and the issue more now. We are turning the liner 90 and re-drilling, and going back through the wire process. Sometime soon a new liner will go in. This is just to get me through to annual this winter. Probably 20 hours.
