RE: Aileron offset...why?
This seems to be more of an aerodynamic counter balance setup than a Frise aileron. Friese aileron sticks out the leading edge only when the aileron is moved up, but tucks it in when aileron moved down. From the picture, this looks like the leading edge of the aileron will protrude out of the wing in either direction of deflection. Kinda like modern Extra aerobatic airplanes - the ailerons are hinged at 25% of the chord and have mass counter balance in the leading edge (in addition to a spade that assists the movement and is used for trimming)
