Default Somethin Extra Horizontal Stab ??????

Hey all.
I have attached the horizontal stabiliser onto my SSE, and somehow it shifted while curing[]

It's not much, maybe 1mm or so, 2 at the outside (see the pic).
My question is, how bad will this effect the flight characteristics?
(The stab also has a slight kink in it, pretty much every bit of this kit wasn't 'straight')

I would assume that 1mm here or there wouldn't pose a problem much, but than again, I aint no aerodynamics freak either.

Any thoughts???

P.S The vertical stab is crooked, cause I haven't attached that yet

I do not think you will notice any effect from what I see. Put it together and fly, you will love this plane/

You can probably tweak the rudder into position when you install the tail group wire supports. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks guys.
I kinda figured I could correct most of it when I install the wire supports, but thought I'd check anyways.

Cheers
