Horiz/Vert Stabilizers Mounting Plate Angle

I'm fabricating a stand for my empennage, and I need some information that isn't available to me just yet, since I only have my empennage plans. There is a plate that attaches the forward spar of the vertical stabilizer to the forward spar of the horizontal stabilizer. This plate has a horizontal bend to accomodate the difference in angle between spars. Can anyone tell me what the angle of that plate bend is? I'm working on extrapolating the information by test fitting the parts... but it would be very helpful for me right now if I knew what that angle was. Any information would be appreciated. Once my stand is complete, I will describe its construction and share the information here. Thanks!
 
I completed the empennage stand, and I'm very happy with it. Check out the thread entitied "My RV-8 empennage stand" in this section of the forum (RV-8/8A).
