I have a Avistar 40 Trainer, w/os40LA that I wrecked the wing on.
My son wanted something to do , and repaired the wing.
Everything looks good except when I went to put the Aileron back on the wing it was 3/8" longer then the wing. This is the Right Half.
A worker at the Hobby Shop said that it wouldn't effect the plane that much, should have no problems flying it. He is a Senior Flyer, mostly of 1/4 Scale now.
Has any one had this experiance, and how did it work out ?
He told me to just cut the Aileron down to fit the wing.
Thanks for any info you have
Ted

On a trainer probably won't matter try it and see

I would say as long as the plane balances out ,left to right, it should be alright. 3/8 of an inch really isn't that much. The lateral balance is much more important. I have a little PT-20 and I know I don't put the wing on right in the center everytime and I never have trouble with it.

You're wasting time thinking about it,cut it off,stick it in the air and if needed trim it with the transmitter.

Trim the Aileron, and balance it laterally by holding the nose cone tip and end of rudder tip. If she tip's ever so slightly, she can be trimmed out, but if she cranks to one side or the other, you need to balance out. Either way, it shouldn't be a major issue.

Thanks All for the info
I thought the gentleman was straight with me, but better to find out now then in the air.
I've had to add a little lead to a plane before after a wing repair.
