Default ?? About wing fit

OK, I'm pretty much finished with my Bridi Killer Bee, except for the pushrods. However, when I cut the ailerons, I cut them a little too short (almost 2 inches). Now, the ailerons stop about 2 inches from the fuse, and there is nothing there back to the TE of the wing, all the way to the fuse (see pic). Do I need to get some stock and glue in there to make the wing more uniform all the way to the fuse, or will it matter? Unfortunately, I looked until I was blue in the face and couldn't for the life of me find the aileron stock that I cut off (which would have been perfect). I also looked at the hobby shop and they don't have any aileron stock this big. If necessary, I can sand some 1/2 inch balsa down into a TE shape, but is it necessary? Will it affect the way it flies? I figured maybe it would make the root of the wing stall first, but I don't want it to stall at too high of a speed...
Thanks for the advice...
