Thanks for the tips guys,

I've been working the aileron torque rod back and forth, and generally investigating the problem, and have come up with what I think are the primary problems here.

First...the covering material only has a ragged hole poked in it to provide for the rod's exit from the wing. So I've opened up the holes on both wing panels into more of a slot.

Which led me to the second....that there wasn't enough material removed from the wing sheeting to allow for the proper movement. Again, it looks as though just a hole was provided rather than a slotted opening. So I am using a knife to carefully remove the stock to allow it to move more freely.

The problem with the tight movement isn't so obvious though. I can't see into the area well enough to tell if there is glue or just excess material binding it.

Wish me luck.....
