I'm sorry my ailerons are connected directly to the servo so there is no plastic tubing involved. I took everything appart and tried working the likage to try and free it. I don't know if it should move as free as the linkage going to the throttle or the nose gear. I think it's binding in the plastic tubing that goes from the servo compartment back to the tail and elevator, or the exit hole at the tail of the airplane. My Raptor 50 heli has none of this because all of the linkage is so close together that a binding in the plastic tubing can not happen . I was just wondering if I had to start bending control rods or this is a common problem with ARF planes. Captain Crash, no I did not glue the hinges myself. My plane is a Nexstar ARF. It has all the major componets pre-installed, all I have to do is install the servos and put the wings toghether and so on.
