Default Acceptable aileron hinge gap for a Trainer?
What is an acceptable hinge gap for a 40 sized trainer using CA hinges?

Now that my torque rods are installed, it looks like I'm going to have an 1/8" gap between the aileron and the wing. Will this be okay, or should I build up the back of the wing a bit to lessen the gap? I was worried that if I do this, the glue under the 1/16" 'laminate' will not allow the CA to properly wick into the hinge.

Thoughts?
