Craig-
I am at about the same place you are and added a third hinge close to the
wingtip.
When I did my initial fitting, the tip drooped about 3/16. It appeared to
me more like the aileron was warped than just sagging. In retrospect, I would
have been better off moving the center hinge a few inches inboard before I
did so. It sounds like you are on the right track. The hinge material BTW is
standard issue from AS.
