Hi there.
I bought this ARF sometime ago (maybe 6 years) and carried on assembling it today. Unfortunately, it looks like I managed to mess up the ailerons somewhat back then. I'm guessing it was me, I can't remember!
One side has to large a gap? And the other is rubbing. (See photos).
What should I do, can I live with it, or should I try to use de-bonder and redo them? Will de-bonder evaporate and I can then reglue? De-Bonder is just acetone isn't it?
I have asked a friend of mine, but thought I would post it here too. In fact he may see this before the mail... (Right Don?!)

If they are only CA type hinges, just cut through them with a knife and trim them right back to the edge's. Cut new CA slots to the left or right of the existing hinges and glue in some new ones. Take's about 5 minutes. Easy.

Need Help
Does anyone know where I can find a
( Model Tech Magic ARF - 36 ) ? They don't make
Them any more and I'm having hard time
Finding one. Thought someone might have one
Or know someone that does. I want the 3D magic funfly
Not the 3D extra. Thank you. I'll certainly pay the shipping also.
