With such an aileron, model response is very good.

Both wings put together, so I can see how they fit.

Covers for servo and "maintenance" holes...

On a place where the cover will be I made a sketch.

I made a cut 1mm wider than sketch, and a bit more on the corners.

On the edge of the cover I drilled some holes, a bit smaler than the screw will be. I temporarily taped it in place and drilled holes in the frame too.

I enlarged holes on the cover and screwed it in place to see how it fits. The gap that remains will be filled later, when other covers are made.
