Here are some further shots of the aileron. Basically I'm just filing in an aileron shaped space. Admittedly it is not particularly elegant. You can see how the aileron tapers with the wing tip. It will get some cap strips and further sheeting as the wing progresses. The scale aileron horn will also be added in. The full scale aircraft ran the aileron cables through the lower wing and the model will have servos in the upper wing but this is a very visible scale feature. It will be present as part of the aileron structure. One could simulate the aileron cables by running a loop of cable from the ends of the scale horn through a guide in the lower wing.
