Todd, I'm not sure I want to cut the hinges off and do it over again. I'll take a pic tonight and you can see that at each end of the elevator it butts to the horizontal stab and then at the center, there is about an 1/8th inch gap. I'm not sure that's enough to warrant doing it over. I've never sealed gaps on any airplane I've ever had. So I'm not sure even how to do it properly. If you tell me it's necessary, I'll call you tonight to ask how to do it.
