When I left off build­ing in 2021, I had en­countered a minor dis­crep­ancy in the size and fit of the sta­bil­izer tip rib ex­ten­sion 6T1-8 and the sta­bil­izer tip. After a couple hours of try­ing to find my mis­take, I real­ized the tip rib ex­ten­sion was simply too big.

The draw­ings call for the tip rib ex­ten­sion to be 80 mm at the wide end. I meas­ured my parts at 84 mm. As val­id­a­tion of the in­com­pat­ib­il­ity, the photo as­sembly guide calls out that there should be a gap between the sta­bil­izer skin and the flange on the tip rib. In fact, my parts leave no gap which would cause some awk­ward and large bend­ing of the sta­bil­izer tip. The bend­ing would prob­ably lead to crack­ing of the plastic.

I called Ro­ger at Zenith Air­craft in Au­guest 2023 to ex­plain the prob­lem. He wanted one more photo. I sent it to him today and will wait to hear back.
