Hi! Brian
I'm pretty sure there isn't a dimension in the manual. You need to have
constructed an extensive and heavily floxed corner, I have measured mine
to be 2.25" fore and aft and about 1.25" inboard to outboard measured
---From the original corner so that when you have the rudder on full
deflection and the tab also on full deflection with the stabilators also
on full travel there is clearance. You could use my dimensions but
should your set up require more then you won't be a "happy bunny" !
however you will have at least tried!
That way you could have trimed off until you get the clearance without
needing to close out the corner again. Best to use slow hardener though
and keep it cool you don't want an exothermic event !
Sounds though you missed the bit about floxing the corner so you may
have to wait till you've trimmed then close out and so delay painting or
touch it up after.

Subject: Europa-List: Servo Trim Tabs Inner coners cut out?
I noticed that some of you chaps have the inner corner of your trim tabs
clipped for rudder clearance. I cannot find the dimensions for the
corners to be
cut out in the manual. My manual shows them to be a proper rectangle,
Could
someone point me to that area? Or tell me the dimensions of the cut out?
I
would like to start filling and sanding. Best to make these cuts and
lay up over
them before I begin!
