Default How much gap is too much

Hello,

I was looking a little closer at my control surfaces and measured the gap between my elevator and horizontal stab. I have 3mm of space. This didn't look terrible when I first built the thing, but now I am getting ready to maiden the plane and I am having trouble sleeping at night. Will this cause flutter or control problems? It is a 60 size spitfire with a 4 stroke up front and I think it will be a fast airplane. Should I redo the tail?
