Mind you, the KR elevator is so effective that it might not matter all that much. My gap is about 2 mm. I wonder how much the tail surface flexes in flight and whether this could cause binding if too many hinges were used. I think there is a thread on this. Check the archives.
John The Martindale Family 29 Jane Circuit Toormina NSW 2452 Australia Thanks John, Those were exactly my concerns. I didn't want to have to wide a gap, because I know that would effect the areodynamics, and I wasn't sure of how tight I could get with out getting bitten by some flexing to to flight air pressures. I can't imagine the HS flexing more than 1/8, especially since I have three hinges on each side.
