Default RE: How much gap is too much

Whoa 3mm is TOO MUCH ESP IF YOU ARE USING MYLAR FILM HINGES. The elevator will be inconsistant around neutral position IE it will be impossible to trim and flutter is very likely to occur.

Either redo the hinges or seal the gaps using the method described above.
