Update. I have 10 flights on this now. Flies well. After the first 5 flights I bumped up all the throws and the Ailerons are now at 7/8 up and 3/4 down to get the roll rate where I liked it. I'm thinking even when cutting the dihedral in half from the plans it is still somewhat effecting the aileron roll rate but I'm happy where it is now. I've found that for more scale like turns, especially in windy conditions, some reverse ailerons in turns keeps it more scale like in turns.
Thank you for all the advice. Did not create half the problems that I thought. Flies nice!
Here is the picture of the plane. Cowl is off as I wanted to be sure that the engine thrust was finalized before fitting it.
The second picture gives a better perspective of aileron sizing.
