I had this problem about 4 months ago. The trim lines are not absolutely
accurate and you need to find the actual ends by trial and error. Your 11
degrees is not far from the 12 degrees you need. If you have 6 the other
way you might want to fill it a little. I also found the width needed some
adjustment.

Subject: Tailplane incidence
Having just fitted my trim tab servo motor, I am now trying to set up my
tailplane incidence & trim tabs prior to opening up the slot in the fuselage
sides to allow the trim tab link rod adequate clearance. I find that the
maximum 'up' elevation I can achieve is only around 11 degrees without
cutting out more of the fuselage sides above the trim lines. I can achieve
around 6 degrees down which is more than necessary. Have I done something
wrong?
Any experiences to share?
