We made our own aileron stock to fit the trailing edge. The trailing edge of the wing ended up being about 3/8 of an inch after sheeting and sanding and the trailing edge of the aileron we wanted to be about 1/8. The two pieces of aileron stock was cut at 1 3/4 inches wide by 26 inches long from 3/8 stock. Shaping was done with a 3/8 length of piano wire against the leading edge and a 1/8 length against the trailing edge as per the diagram. The piano wire was CA glued to the table so the aileron stock fit tightly between. Sanding over and down to the rods gave the proper shape. You will need to cut two wing tip plates or fences see the print, We found the size and shape were not important the plane flew even when these were knocked off in combat.
