Default LT-40 build, hinge gap ???'s

I am about to finish my kit, an LT-40. I was installing my rudder control rods/servos tonight, and I noticed that the bottom CA hinge on the rudder had come loose (either forgot to glue it in, or it just didn't bond). I glued it back it. However, I noticed that there is now a 1/8" gap between the bottom of the fin and the rudder.

Since I have never built a kit or ARF, I have to ask this question. Is this too much of a gap for this trainer? I would hate to have to cut the rudder off, cut new slots, and install new hinges. However, I sure as heck don't want all of my hard work and time to end disasterous because of a failure of a rudder.

What say ye?
