Colin, You may also find that adding a washer ( 3/16 flat) between the rod end and the aileron control arm will help get the required deflection. I know because I re-discover this each time I re-install the wings each season . Without the washer, the rod end will bind on the arm at the end of it's travel each way. My aileron geometry is exactly to plans in this area so I'm sure many of us has experienced this binding.

I have an angle gauge that I can use to check both sides and make sure that the design amount of deflection is being achieved. It seems very shallow right now, and there are 2 holes for mounting the bellcrank rod, so I would like to be able to check them. Can someone with a plans built tell me what the plans call for in angle of deflection, or inches of movement above the trailing edge and then below, so that I can check my aileron geometry please. I have not been able to address this previously because this is the first time she has had her wings on to stay. The reason I ask is that when disconnected there is ALOT more motion available for both the ailerons and the stick.
