Default RE: Full span ailerons

I don't fly pylon, but every pylon racer I've looked at was set up like that. Sounds like a good idea. Depending on how big your non-moving portion is, you will loose some aileron effectiveness at speed, but it might not matter. (I once cut about 2" off the tip of each aileron as a field repair (long story), the reduction in roll rate was higher than I expected.
