I noticed last night when looking down the back of the tail cone that the trim tab on the right elevator appears to be slanted upward toward where the vs attaches. Maybe the photos can better explain.

Try to sight straight down the trailing edge, from the side....see if
there is any bowing or fishtailing to the way the edge is. It
looks like their either is some of that, or maybe some bending on
the end, but it's hard to say from those photos. If you had a straight
and true trim tab, it wouldn't likely be doing that. Try to do
all photos or visuals from real consistent centered places though.
All those photos are off center a bit so it's hard to tell what's
an optical illusion and what's real.
None of the parts in the fail feathers are very expensive, so if
you find something that just isn't great and you figure out the
cause, it wouldn't be a big deal to re-build.

I too had to re-build one tab. I would carefully inspect the tab itself for trueness.

Looking down the edge of the elevator, it looks straight all the way up to the trim tab. Then, the whole trim tab appears to slant upward.
To be honest, the trim tabs have always bothered me and I was hoping I could one day install new ones. I had a very hard time squeezing my hand in and bucking the rivets and I would up using pop rivets in places. Is it hard to mount new trim tabs on?

Yeah, they look to have a built in twist. I'd rebuild new ones.

While you are at it, build them yourself with the aluminum wedge in the trailing edge and they will match the elevators and look much nicer.....
Just a thought.....
