Ok, here's a question for the masses. On my lower aileron, right side....On the inboard hinge bracket mounting holes, I measured 6 3/4" from the end with the outboard solid rib on, instead of measuring 6 3/4" from the end of the spar. (see page 10)


Do I need to rebuild a new aileron, or can I just relocate the aileron hinge on the wing spar 1/4", relocate the upper aileron hinge bracket 1/4", move everything else 1/4", etc?
