Default RE: shaping ailerons

Do not round the LE of the aileron, cut, or sand it to a bevel.

And don't worry about the gap, or flutter. You NEED to have a slight gap for the hinges to flex. The gap can always be sealed with covering or tape, but too small of a gap can't be fixed (without a compleat hinge removal and reinstallation) and will result in binding surfaces and possible hinge failure.
