I fashioned them from 1/4" foam, covered with 2 plies of glass (use a thin slurry of micro on the foam prior to laying the glass) and shaped them to fit. They're installed with 2 ply lay-ups. My aileron trailing edges are a uniform 1/4" thick and squared off, per the construction manual. Both are SLIGHTLY and EQUALLY overbalanced (approximately 1/8"). At neutral, they are both SLIGHTLY high (approximately 1/16" above faired-in).
