Default RE: Can I Produce Washout with Ailerons

Even if the shaping is consistent from center to tip for the leading edge stock diffences in the % of radius in the stock can make a difference in how the guage seats the wing's LE into the V shape.  I've never bothered with a gauge either for this reason and it's interesting to see so many confirm this suspicion.  To more correctly confrim the issue I'd suggest blocking up the wing or sitting he model on it's gear on a table and measure from the table to the center of the LE and TE at root and tip.  Any washin or washout would be a lot easier to determine with certainty.
