Hi everyone,

I have a question I'm sure someone can answer. I have a Kitfox 5 with the speedster tail. When I follow the manual directions for spacing between the rudder and vertical stabilizer I end up with a slight interference between the two pieces of fiberglass and they rub each other when rotating the rudder.
The manual calls out 1-1/2 inch gap at the top and 2-5/16 gap at the bottom. Should I remove material from the rudder ribs that the fiberglass fits around to give more spacing between or can I adjust the rod ends out for more clearance?

From reading the manual I believe that I need to overlap fabric around the rudder which will make it even worse. Please let me know what you have done and I appreciate the help.
