I have this same problem on my Somethin' Extra.....I have about, well a little under almost a 1/4 in gap on the insided of the elevators.......well, I have only flew it once, and not yet, nothing has happened......Well, I HAVE sealed the TOP, and HOPE TO GOD that nothing happend.....I will be so pissed off...but I really can't say anything.....

I understand about the hassle of re-hinging...I was going to do that, but I just thought that I would just seal the TOP and see what happens.......hopefully nothing!!!

I haven't flown it yet....but maybe going this Sunday if this freakin 1 ft. 3 in of snow melts in my NORTH CAROLINA home (that's alot of snow for NC).....but I hope that I can go Sun.....
