Bryan advises that his CK Aero control horns were designed in a control linkage program to have perfect setup for equal travel up and down when mounted on the edge of the aileron.

Hi Jason,
Would that not depend on the depth of the bevel - ie ; the distance from 'the edge' to the hinge pivot ??
The control attachment looks very far forward on the elevator above - might be camera angle !?
Relative heights are also in play - eg; a sunken elevator servo horn V a raised one like yours (think tangents).

PS ; I really like the WC scheme - I think it's great on a lot of levels - a bigger file version of the photos would be good ! The switch in canopy colour also works very well.
