Default Junkers type control surfaces?

I'm building a Ziroli 'Stuka' and wondering about the location of the various control surfaces. The plans show the LE of the ailerons, and flaps, even with the TE of the wing. I'm wondering what, if any, changes in control are obtained by changing that configuration-even slightly? The question goes more to what if I'm off by a small bit in making up the surfaces? Getting the split flaps to move precisely in unison proves to be more of a challenge than I expected. The Junkers style control surfaces don't appear to have been used very much, at least not to my knowledge. Any thoughts? Bill
