Larry and Mike, More like 1/32". It doesn't take very much to do the job. You will be bending the entire length of the aileron trailing edge, just a little. Then fly the plane and see how it feels. Bend again a tiny bit if necessary. Fly again. And so on. It's very easy to bend it too much, thus giving you the opposite problem that you started with. Follow the steps very carefully, don't modify any of them, even if you think you have a better idea. You don't.
