sorry Bruce.....actually one aileron doesn't have near the throw that the other and there is an obvious distinction , visually, i f I can just figure out how to upload these pics.........my concern was the added resistance on moving the control surface on this side and also what might have caused it to act this way post manufacturing.......Being an ARF , I don't know exactly how this area is put together and I did not want to start trying to free up the Ultracolt or whatever it is without knowing how this whole aileron is hinged....sorry for not having the pics yet but will work on that ....

If it is stiff with the servo linkage disconnected, there is a good chance you may have too much CA or epoxy (whichever used) in the hinge area causing it to bind. Have you checked without the servo attached for travel freedom? Will it go all the way to the recommended throws and is just stiff or will it not make it at all
