I wish I had checked the fit and movement of my rudder before covering. I thought, what could go wrong? Looking at the video, I don't feel so confident anymore. Well, we"ll see.
Looks like that more or less will work mechanically. Your choice, but I would have still fixed it with extended bushings. Now the hinge rotation point is at the front of the rudder leading edge so you have to have gap to prevent interference as it swings where as if it was fixed as designed you would have the leading edge pivoting about the hinge centered at the radius of the rudder leading edge and thus no changing gap space or interference as the rudder swings. I think you may regret doing what you did when the gap looks funny after everything is done. Fixing the bushings as designed is a little work, but I think it would be worth it. Just my opinion. I'm sure what you got will be airworthy.

just before to starting to remove all ribs in vertical i look some pictures of normal(flat) tail...and the gap between is about 1'' to 1 1/2''....so that what append in my brain....the gap space like i did it's mucho better....and my tail is really desing like that..i dont know why..but i have 2 type of tail in my book...one with 4 long bushing..one with 4 short bushing..mine are 3 short bushings...and like that everything work great ...i have 30 degre of movement and all my rod end are tight...if i but that with long bushing i need to modify the stopper .....so after talking with some old pilots....(Cub Pilot)..i decide to make less modif i can...for the time to do and what it give..(better autority at low speed ?)...but finally it dont find that to bad..
