Best to follow Chris Kinnaman's advice. Lets us not forget that 'any' amount of 'play' or 'slop' takes a toll on contacted parts over time through the effects of high impact stress and friction; no matter how small. This can lead to damaged and/or failing parts that seem to happen out of nowhere. Moreover, loosing a tail fin or even something as small as a trim tab, in flight, can be fatal (Jimmy Leeward, 2011 P51 Crash).
