Thanks so much for the idea's. I just bought a grinding tool for the dremel and I'll try that first. My ailerons have a tapered thickness.

The instructions on the ARF manual said to drill 1/16 holes half way through then add 2-3 drops of CA prior to installing the screws.
That's where I ran into trouble when I didn't let the CA dry prior.

I think I've committed every Building error in the book. I'm the type of person you don't want handling a powertool.
You guys could probably do a better job building an ARF with your feet than I can with my hands. But hey, I'm trying to learn.

Thanks again everyone for your advice.

PS. What's wrong with using wood screws? Just kidding Plumber. You had me rollin' when I read that.
