Ace, Not shur how you did this? Did you inlay the flat hinge into the trailing edge & aileron, or slot the wood approx center, like a double bevel hinge?

The proper fix would require removing the covering, reworking the trailing edge / aileron leading edge, hinging and recover per standard designs, but not wanting to get that involved, right now, anyway.

I want to get this Camel air worthy enough to fly to see if I like its personality first!
