The the hinges didn't have as much as much wood on them as the one in your picture. There is a little right where the hinge entered the aileron/wing but very little, if any, towards the ends. The part that was sticking out was sort of stiff like it had glue on it.

When I assembled the ailerons I noticed that the hinges slipped into the slots very easily, like the slots were too big. Maybe I should have squeezed the surfaces on the top and bottom of the hinge slots after I put the glue in to get better contact. I have the pinned hinges on my shopping list.

I now have the wingtips repaired. I need to cover the wing and install the right aileron and remove/install the left aileron. I have started on the fulelage and have it repaired and braced from the middle of the cockpit to 3 inches forward of the leading edge of the wing. I have cut the wood that goes from where I am up to the firewall.
