The aileron hinges set in the routed area on the aft face of the spar. I left the spruce the full thickness on the forward face to give some extra strength to resist cracking. That may cause a problem with the hinges which may need the bolt end longer. The aileron spar is only 1/2" thick, same as the rear spar web. My logic is that it's easier to make a new aileron if the spar cracks than a new wing.
I've realized I need to order glue and bolts if I plan to assemble wings. Getting close.
I also need to check on my replacement spars. I'd like to finish them while it's fresh in my mind how I've been doing all this.
