This is what Charley Brown said, presumably regarding the Legacy:

<<Lancair provided L-shaped lead stock, approx 1inch X 1inch cross section.=
  It is affixed to the "leading edge" of the aileron, and I had to apply it=
 across almost 100% of the span of the left aileron (which has the trim tab=
 and servo), and about 2/3 the span of the right aileron.>>

For the 320/360, Lancair provided lead half-rounds, and you use a pair of t=
hem on either side of the leading edge, so it looks like a solid rod with t=
he fiberglass leading edge trapped in the middle.  The amount Charley says =
is still correct -- almost full span for the aileron with the trim tab, and=
 about 2/3 span for the naked aileron.  It seemed like A LOT to me so I cal=
led up Carsten when I did this several years ago and he said "That sounds a=
bout right".

DO NOT FORGET to reinforce the leading edge (the curled part) with stiffene=
rs similar to the ones described in the manual for the flap leading edges. =
 Several early builders reported "buzzing" which was traced to flexing of t=
he weighted leading edges.  A pair of stiffeners on each aileron does the t=
rick, and this is not in the manual.  Drill a drain hole for water to escap=
e, too, as the stiffeners will trap water that runs off the top of the wing=
s.  Did you drill a vent hole in each aileron for pressure to escape at alt=
itude, too?
