Default RE: Showtime

Just started building my showtime last night. Going to be using a Saito 100 for now since I have it from another plane that met an untimely demise. I plan on using Hitec 5625's all around except for the rudder where I'll either use a 5625 or 5645 (any recommendation here?) with a Futaba 3151 (cheap digital left over from the other plane) on the throttle.

So far I've hinged my ailerons and elevators. Since I read alot about CA hinge failure, I went with the great planes pinned hinges. First time using them, and I wound up with between a 1/16 and 3/32 of an inch gap. I'm really not too happy with this, I don't know why I didn't question it as I was building, but now it's glued in. Obviously I plan on sealing this gap, but was wondering if this was going to cause any flight problems? Also for future reference does anyone have any recommendations for installing this type of hinge?

Thanks,
Dave
