Joe,

I'm convinced that my problem was caused by the binding along with zero hinge line gap. IMO you've got to have just a smidgin of gap to allow for some inaccuracies in the trailing edge of the wing and the leading edge of the aileron..... It looked like they glued mine in at the factory, and never moved the control surface back and forth. It they had, the binding would have showed up.

Good luck on your repair. I chose the syringe method first. Fast and simple. Just keep and eye on it and if it becomes a problem, then cut them all out and start over. That's what I'm going to do.

I like the idea of melting the old ones out with a solder gun..... That's a new one on me.
