[quote="pietflyer"]Should work just fine
Hi Pietflyer - I got an email reply from another enthusiast and he suggested that
if the horizontal stab were to flex, the piano hinge could bind and cause control
problems. This was enough of a possibility, which I had not thought of,
for me to stick with the individual hinges.
He also suggested that there was little noticeable benefit to having the elevator
gap sealed.
Back to making my titanium hinges! Thanks for your input.

If concerned about that, you could break the piano hinges into several short
sections (I did this on my aileron hinges, for the same reason). From
observing my tail section in flight (one of the great advantages of open
cockpit flying), I don't think there is enough flexure to cause any concern.
