Final drilled the control horn to the spar and root rib

The instructions don't say squat about this part. Again I had refer back my experience with the right elevator. On the right elevator the instructions have a big blurb about aligning the control horn on the spar and root rib because there ain't no pre-drilled holes in the spar and rib. WRONG, there were indeed pre-drilled holes in the right elevator spar and rib for clecoing on the control horn. It is almost the same for the left elevator. There are pre-drilled holes in the spar for the control horn to cleco into. But the holes have to be drilled in to the root rib, using the existing holes in the control horn as a guide. I drilled everthing with a #40 drill bit and then went back and final drilled everything with a #30 drill bit.
