I think the aileron is supposed to have a gradual bend from about mid-span out to the wing-tip (compare it to the other aileron).

However, that bend on the trailing edge may be more problematic. It's hard to see from the photo, but in the third photo (the underside of the aileron) it appears to be a crack across the stiffening bead. That may well be of concern.

Is there a crack there, or a sharp crease that flaked off the paint?
