And since they are the only part on the plane you have not built twice it is time for new ones!

I think I may have a pretty good idea as to a contributing factor on my plane, if not the total culprit. Checking the ailerons last night I noticed that on the left one I had the cusp that accurately follows the airfoil, but on the right one, I straightened out the cusp. I build those ailerons a year or so apart, and somewhere between building the first one and the second one I decided to delete the cusp in favor of reducing the aileron control system's loading. Only problem is I forgot to go back and fill in the pilot's side! Good thing my ailerons are easily removed...
