Default RE: Ultimate .46 a/c aileron differentials

Thanks for the info.

They suggest using the holes closest to the surfaces, well, actually only have a picture with tiny little arrows pointing to those holes, and I used measurements for that when I figured the throws. My picture was just slapped together in a minute and I didn't think to draw the connector rod to the inside holes.

Quite frankly, I really aren't looking for a "aerodynamic" discussion. What I was really hoping for was just what you provided, some actual flying observations. But truth is, I wasn't really hoping for that either, as much as I wanted to simply put the info out there for anyone about to stick the model together.

And btw, closer to the TE and/or the hinge point actually won't correct the differential. The connect points only need to both be on a line that's 10degrees above the aileron center line and then an equal distance from the aileron hinge line. The closer they are to being the same distance from the hinge line and the right angle from the CL, the less the differential. Matter of fact, the WM lower connect point is very close to being a good location. But the upper connect point has to be in that orientation also.
