After installing the vertical fin on my RV-6AQ I  find that the rear edge of the vertical fin is 3/16 - 1/4 inch forward of the  rear edge of fuselage skins.  I assuming that rear edge of the fuselage  skins is to be trimmed to match that of vertical fin.  

  

 Is this correct?  I have not found anything in  the plans or instructions that addresses this.

  

 Thanks.

If your rear spar lines up with the rear bulkhead (it must, or how did you mount it?) then everything is fine.  Trim the trailing edges to match.  I waited until I fit the empennage fairing and then trimmed everything at once.
