Default aileron stock?

Darin,

I am working on a JKA P-47N, and I am going to make modifications simular to yours, but I have a question or two for you.

I notice you use balsa for the TE except the center, why the dowl in the middle? I was going to use balsa for the whole TE.

What size aileron stock do you use, and where do you get it?

I noticed that the instructions for the P-47 wing don't result in a wing that is 1/12+10%, it's closer to 5%. Do you cut the wing a bit longer to get the extra span and area? I am currently leaning that way. But I was wondering about the wing chord. I assume it's also at 1/12+5%, but I haven't found numbers for the fullscale P-47N wing chord so I can't be sure of my measurments. What did you do for the wing size?

Thanks
