Default Play between split elevator halves normal?

This is the first time I have hooked up split elevators using a wood push rod with two wires on the back end. As long as both halves are moved at the same time, there is virtually no play. If you move one however, there is enough flex to move the other half the opposite way. Is this normal? It seems to me you can't really fix this play. In flight both halves have the same flight loads so it may not be an issue. As I am going to be hovering this plane it does concern me.
