Am having extreem problems in elevator and aileron adjustment to get it right! I place airframe in a adjustable crutch and level all directions to 0. I have a "smart level" attached to my robarts meeter that is accurate to 1/2 of 1%. I adjust each half of elevator and aileron throws to the same degree and then verrify the outcome with a small lazer. The transmitter is placed on full up, the lazer placed on one surface, projected to the wall at least 8 feet away and the spot marked with a X on a stickee pad. The other surface then adjusted to the same spot if needed. The final result has got to be spot on (No pun intended). When I go fly, the plane will fall off to one wing, always in the same direction when easing into a harrier. Same problem with my Cap X and Banshee. The Banshee has warp aileron and elevator issues that require replacement I think. The Cap X is good. How in the world do you measure servo travel speed without relying on the eye only? Am using a JR 10 X, no match box as the radio is superior in my view, servos DS 8611. I can not see any speed difference in any of the surfaces, but the eyes are old. My ailerons are reflexing 100% per Horizon article 1457 which may be too much? Would appreciate any guidance and assistance is set up that I have not figured out. Sincerly appreciate any help given. Thanks

could be lateral balance, thrust angle, a combination of both, too much surface deflection causing the plane to snap out...
etc. etc.

Thanks for the attempted assistance! The real question is how to determine servo and related surface speeds other than the unreliable eyeball? I ballance everything in every direction. Throws and CG are as per manufacturer, Chip Hyde. The only thing left (hope) is servo speed differece.
