Help needed for the Elevator Trim Tab Horn

Looking or some dimensions.

I have an older RV-6 kit (pre electric trim). I ordered the electric trim kit from vans, and can make everything work. The only question I have is the dimensions of the trim tab horn, specifically, the end that attaches to the servo rod. The kit just give me some angle to make the parts, but no info on where to locate the hole. I'm not worried about the trailing ends, I can figure out where to cut them off and drill rivets.

Can someone post a picture with a ruler or something so I know how to shape the leading edges and locate the rod connection hole.

Thanks,
Chris
 
Drawing 5PP has the parts you need illustrated.
E-618EEP-1 and E-617EEP-1 are the two Horn pieces for the electric trim.
 
Mike,

I've looked all over the RV-6 plans page 5PP. The dimensions aren't there, just a side picture of the trim tab horns, both electric and manual. But no dimensions. Maybe Vans added them to the newer plans.

Cheers,
Chris
 
Right, the pre-pumched parts are not dimensioned.
They are a ?buy? item.
Can?t help you with dimensions, I have manual trim.
