I've had good success with blenderm tape. After two years it's still adhering like it was new. But it will come off cleanly if needed. The only trick is to use a little talcum powder in the gap after you have it on to remove some of the "stick" on the hinge line so it doesn't stick to itself.

Hobby shops now carry it (I think DuBro is packaging it) but if you fly indoor foamy's at all, it's worth just going online to a medical supply house and buying a box (12 rolls). it's MUCH cheaper and it's great tape for a lot of things.
You'll need 1" wide to cover an aileron gap.
