I bought an old but flying Thunder Tiger Skylark 40 trainer. I am a newbie. This winter I completely stripped and re-covered the plane with Ultracoat, and made new slightly larger ailerons and elevators.

My question is, because I was struggling with the hinges and the CA drying, instead of a snug fit of the ailerons against the wing and the elevotor to the stabilizer, there is a gap ranging from one-sixteenth to one-eghth inch between the moving surface and the wing/horiz. stab.

Will this be OK? I thought I read somewhere if air can move through the gap it will cause flutter, but I thought flutter was caused by something else.

I would have to cut the hinges and start over if it has to be tighter.
