As woodbutcher mentioned, the aileron gauge provided allows relatively easy and quick set up of aileron neutral. I tend to misplace things and couldn't find the gauge after recovering the wing of my SE. So I used a method a Pattern competitor introduced me to a long time back, which works when the airfoil is full symetrical. Draw a line from the center of the leading edge to the center of the traiing edge of both the root and tip of each wing half, and the same for each aileron. Using a straight edge adjust the control linkage until the lines on the wing and aileron are aligned. I used a fine tip Sharpie because rubbing alcohol easily wipes the ink off iron-on coverings and most paints.

Thanks for your post regarding the rear dowel. Haven't flown either of my SEs since I got the Funtana last summer, so I decided to check them. I thought I had epoxied the dowel into the fuselage in both planes. The kit version was solid, but apparently I had only tack glued the dowel in the ARF. It was tight, but pulled out with little effort. NOW it is epoxied in place.
