Default plans(how they work)flaps/ail.TF-p47???

Don't know how you can get an answer to your problems with the aileron or the flaps without actually seeing what is going on. You've got linkage problems that have to be visually inspected.
Check with someone in the local club(s) that has a good grasp on kit building or go to a local hobby shop and have them take a look at it. I'm sure there is someone in the Raleigh/Durham area that can help. Don't disappoint yourself building a giant until you have the P-47 construction mastered.
I think you might have taken on a project that may be a little beyond your experience at this point. This is not a put down so don't take it that way. Nothing like making a mistake and learning from it. (That's why we call it experience) As long as you don't get discouraged and give up.
As far as scratch building from plans, again you might be taking on a little more than experience dictates. I've been building kits for over 40 years and still learning (and screwing up).
