stick I guess I don't understand, but would you not want the same distance so they would move the same.
The geometry is just far enough out of kilter to make the top aileron move further than the bottom aileron, given the exact same placement. The Stagger is what causes this. The top wing is ahead of the bottom which gives you positive stagger. It messes with the throw enough to require a little offset in the connection. Here is a photo of Dan's Waco which shows the angle. Like I said, the upper goes at the trailing edge, and the lower goes 1/4 inch from the trailing edge. Trust me on this, or set them up equally, and then go back and do it like I said. You will see what I mean if you do it equally. Then you will have an extra hole in your aileron to explain to those who ask.

To be able to use slave rods in this plane the ailerons will have to have the covering removed and install mounting points for the slave rod brackets to screw in too. Some work involved there. I might or might not....
Thanks,
