From my Mustang Instructor at Stallion51 this afternoon:

Vertical Fin is Offset 1 deg.

Early Mustang horizontal stabs were offset 2 deg nose up, later mods 1/2 deg nose up.

If you're flying with John, he's a hell of a pilot.  I enjoyed watching him perform in an airshow recently.

Agree!  I know John well.  Haven’t flown with him in the plane but, have in formation a couple of times.  We did a three ship of two Mustangs and a T-6 in June.
