<DIV>Use Rick's para 2 below (sticks & rubber bands work for me)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can eye-ball the stab & elevator from the rear and see elevator</DIV>
<DIV>center with amazingly good accuracy. Your looking for equal amounts</DIV>
<DIV>of upper and lower surface of stab and elevator to be visible. If not, </DIV>
<DIV>re shim the sticks and rubber bands, and eyeball again.</DIV>
<DIV>This is harder to describe than to do. Good light is needed.</DIV>

<P><gulp> here goes: I'vwe done it two ways: </P>
<P>1. Measure the incidence of the stab itself without the elevators mounted -- with either with a meter or with center lines on the stab LE and TE. </P>
<P>2. If the elevators are mounted lock them in neutral with tape, sticks, etc, and measure away. </P>
<P>Can't wait to hear other solutions to this! </P>

<DIV> </DIV>>Hi guys and Gals
<DIV> </DIV>>
<DIV> </DIV>>I was wondering how one goes about measuring this with no tips on the stab? How do you make sure the elev is level to the stab?
