My experimental Pitts S-2B has one elevator trailing edge about 1/2 inch lower on the left side compared to the right at neutral stick position. I believe the horizontal stab and elevators are factory components and there is not enough play in the bolts between the two elevator halves to bring them into alignment. Anyone have elevator rigging info for factory S-2 ships? Is the left/right elevator offset possibly an effort to cancel the engine torque (in addition to the offset of the vertical fin)?
Thanks,

PS Trim tab on the left lower aileron to raise left ailerons/raise right ailerons. Ailerons are opposite elevators with respect to "roll" rigging. I have not checked wings for rigging yet.
