Any suggestions for removing a glued aileron control horn? When gluing, it didnt fully seat and fused before I could fix. Its about 1-1.5mm's out of seat. Am I safer just drilling a new hole in the horn to use? Im sure its basic geometry but if I leave it, I am supposing my ailerons wont move symetrically. Any input/suggestions appreciated.
CA glue whoops!

It'll take a while, and you'll need to really work at it, but ca remover by Bob smith industries is sold under the name of "un cure"

Straight acetone works also. Not as fast but readily available. Straight nitromethane works awesome as well. I believe this is what comercial debonders contain. If you have a race shop around they will sometimes sell you a small amount. Not exactly handy but if you have a source, good stuff.

to answer your original question: do not leave it like that...you want both sides to be symmetric, so do what you can to remove and reseat it.
you also want it to be a secure glue joint so the control horn does not come out in the middle of a violent manuever.
