Default Construction question

Hopefully the pic comes through. But was mounting the ailerons onto the wing of my LT-40 and noticed that the Rods don't line up as noted in the picture. But should these be in alignment or can they be off set a little - will this affect performance if left in this fashon? I think all I need to do is realign the hole in the aileron to fix the problem and make them closer together as they aren't permanently attached at the moment.

Also, another question, as I am bulding another plane (building is contagious) and wonder just how much warp can be corrected in the trailing edge of a wing. Plane is a Piper Cub 20 that I have a OS 30 4 stroke to put in. The problem I have is that the trailing edge isn't straight and true. The piece when laying flat on the table (doing a trial fit) the left side is raised off the table about 3/8" and the right side 1/4". I think I need to either order a new set or just make my own. All the other pieces are much better but these 2 are bad.

Appreciate the help - Hansen
