Mark, I can't find any information on width of the horizontal stabilizer when using the AS5048 configuration. The plans show 71" for the spar width. Has this been carried through to the new shape?

I do remember this coming up earlier, and you're right that the tail templates were drawn up with the plans-built hinges in mind, not Dr. Dean's. I think it's just a matter of "winging it" and drawing a new set of lines on the templates and cutting the spars to those new slightly different dimensions, rather than what the "new tail" drawing's dimensions show. Hopefully your spars are not already built, and if they are, I'd probably just build the hinges like the plans and add the oil-impregnated bushings instead. They do work rather nicely, I can testify. I'm sure you've already seen the stuff at http://www.n56ml.com/kht.html, which may be where the Dr. Dean idea came from. Somebody did report a "solution" to this dimensional problem though, and it's surely buried in the archive somewhere...
