Default aileron design/hinging

I need some advice on how to hinge my ailerons. I am building from scratch a smaller airplane 1/2 size airplane. the plans call out that the ailerons are just a single flat piece of wood and im guessing this to be around 1/8 inch thick. First, is there a technical name for this design other then "flat piece of wood" ?lol. My second question is what is the best way to hing this? I prefer the CA hinges.Do I cut the small slot in the narrow piece of wood or is there a better alernative method. I dislike torque tube.
