One step forward and two steps back [:@]

Somehow the reinforecment strips for the ailerons didn't glue up properly. I had used the same Gorilla carpentry glue that I've been using all along. When I repositioned the piece on the building board the glue joint failed and the strips were easily pulled off. ?????

So I got out my exacto chisel blade and cleaned the rest of the strips off of the trailing edge.......it came off too easily. I scratched my head a couple of times and then decided to modify it the same way I modified the wing panel trailing edges.

I cut 1/16" pieces from a/c ply and glued up the joint again.......I think it'stuck this time!
