Default RE: inboard or outboard ailerons?

mike, there,s no mention of ail placement in the manual, but the plans show 3 options. they show a sport ail around 28" long centered on the wing(materials not included in kit), & 2 different locations for the stock 17" long ails. as per plans the rt ail is inboard & the left outboard . dumb question but any chance placing them as shown(rt in & l out) enhances left turns?? the chance i,ll race this plane in any event is slim so the fast roll rate should up the pucker factor considerably! i,ve gone through a few pylon planes over the years (still have a viper 500 w mvvs 49) but the size of this beast blows them away...the moki's tuned pipe is almost 3 feet long! i,m thinking the sport ails would give me the best roll rate but the inboard / outboard thing has got me wondering....might try lanier for an explanation...thanks for the input.....rob m
