MinnFlyerI am 70 years young and I have never seen this setup before. Where you had to cut the ailerons out after the wing was built. Guess I didn't build many Sigs.
Not just SIG, but numerous designs use the technique of building the ailerons together with the wing then subsequently cutting them apart. It's one way to be sure it is a good fit. As far as the thickness, it is what ever it is, as in scale building. Often sport planes get by with a mismatch as to wing trailing edge thickness and aileron leading edge. It may not look scale, but it works OK.
