			Gil, you'd have to pick one side or the other and use that one to get the rigging set. The other side will then cause a rolling couple because of the split elevator. I've found this to be good for more than a couple knots when corrected. The wing trim tabs and sometimes a flap offset are used to "fix" the rolling caused by the tail. That is drag x2!

			I intend to get to the repair methods for split elevators and ailerons with displaced counterweights, etc.
