Default RE: Hing Gap on Elevator ????????????

Don't sweat it. A 1.2mm gap is ideal. While some people say to strive for "Zero Gap", this can actually be harmful to CA hinges.

Fly the plane. Afterward, if you decide that you need more control, seal the gap with tape, or covering and you will find that they will become more efficient.
