Doug,

Thank you for your advice.  I already decided to build up the spar web
to the dimension that was measured and cut on the rib. ie, the 3/8" in
question.  It worked out nicely.  I only ran it spanwise about 6 or 7
inches toward the middle of the aileron.  The 2 bid that will close out
the aileron after bonding should be sufficient filler for the 1/8" gap
remaining the length of the span towards the center rib.  

I was certain that messing with the aileron control horn geometry would
have negative effects, so I opted to fill it in.  Thank you very much
for affirming my suspicions.  I have much more confidence that the
aileron will function much better that way.

Curtis
