Default RE: Diferential aileron needs

I stand to be corrected on this, but the first aircraft with differential throws was the Tiger Moth. The linkage was a horizontal disk with an attachment point at about 60 degrees forward of the mid point. A pushrod extended back to the control horn on the hinge.

I don't know the math, but if it was good enough for Geoffrey de Havilland, it's good enough for me -- so that's how I set up diff throws.
