Lightly applied a 1/2 inch line of glue along the trailing edge of the bottom of the aileron. Laid the top fabric alone the glue line and secured it in place with the small iron. Put the aileron into the sawhorse with the trailing edge down. Pulled the top fabric tight and marked the lines for horn and top aileron attachment point. Cut slits at each marked location and secured the fabric along the front of the aileron. Rechecked the tension of the top fabric and reset the fabric as necessary for a smooth finish. Trimmed the right side of the top fabric to 3/4 inch beyond the end of the aileron. Secured the right end with the small iron.
