Default My ailerons don't move the same ...

I've got my trainer now for almost 2 months and still haven't flown it yet !!! (Caus I never got time to go to the club, since you're only allowed to fly there in weekends. ... ... Stupid regulations here in Belgium, I'm not even allowed to fly on a non-certified field !!!)

Anyway, this weekend on the other hand, I will have time to go to the club and take my first step in RC flyin However, ever since I build my (ARF) plane, there was something wrong with the ailerons. (If only it would use 2 servo's instead of one and direct control.) The problem is that the ailerons don't got an even throw (don't know if this is the right word)


Here are some pics to clearefy everything: (don't mind the messy room)


1) Pushing the aileron stick all the way to the left: (left wing of the plane)



2) Pushing the aileron stick all the way to the left: (right wing of the plane)



3) Pushing the aileron stick all the way to the right: (left wing of the plane)



4) Pushing the aileron stick all the way to the right: (right wing of the plane)





In other words: this is how the throw of both ailerons looks like:

1) left wing



2) right wing





So, as you can see, both the ailerons move the same when going up, but the aileron on the right wing moves much more down then the one on the left wing !!! Will this be a problem, aside from the fact that my plane will roll left much faster ?

Also, is this enough throw for the ailerons ?



thx,

(Damn I hope I used the word throw good, caus I seem to have used it alot. lol)
