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.

If I understand your situation, I would build up the aileron web by the
3/8 inch necessary to properly align with the TE wing skins. In fact
the plans indicate the aileron should NOT be thinner than the TE of the
wing. Put the brackets> in per plans so you do not change the geometry of the aileron control rods and make sure the left and right ailerons are the same.
