Hi Steve, I had the same problem on the last two sets of cores I layed up.
I set the leading edge straight, and glassed the first layup. Then on the
second side fill the small gap with a thick micro/super-fill mix, and glass
as usual. And with some of the early XS aileron cores, make sure you extend
the core about a half inch as they are short. Do this on the outboard end.

Gents,
I'm getting ready to start on the ailerons. While setting up the cores
I've noticed that when I have a straight line from tip to root along the
leading edge, there is a 3-4 mm. gap at the point where the trailing
edges meet. This is true for both the port and starboard core sets.
If I place the cores so there is no gap, I have a slight "swept wing"
effect along the leading edge.
I'm assuming I need to shim / fill the gap but wanted to check with
everybody to make sure I'm not guessing wrong. Has anyone else noticed
this ?
Gratefully,
Steve Genotte
