Elevator Hinge Pin Issue - Savannah S

[BC0979]

I totally agree that they should not have any pilot hole. Would have been much easier to mark and drill a nice hole

Update

I used the bushing and a dab of fingernail polish on the end, inserted it on the elevator flange  side, this  produced a perfect ring mark

You can see that the true center is right on the edge of the existing holes. I will end up with an oval hole. This is not good

Can you remove the kit elevator flange and fabricate a new one?

I reassembled the elevator a different way. Left side first, center hinge next, then the right side hinge. This seemed to work with a very small preload of the hinge, a lot less than the center. The elevator seems to rotate freely.

The wings flex anyhow. All that has to be coped with.  Nev
