See? I knew mom was wrong about me!
I just received my
GOLD N CLEVIS pack
so i'll be changing over to those and now know that I should tweak with only 1 turn or less.
Changing clevis types or brands won't make a difference as far as adjustment difference per turn. 2-56 = 2-56.
The Sullivan clevises are very good though. Just be sure when you remove the keeper you put it someplace where it won't get lost when you remove them like a bowl on your workbench or a drawer in your field box.
Lastly, I didn't go into detail on the "always adjust up" thing. I don't live by rules like that. I try to get my control surfaces as close to center as possible.
Back to the left roll example. Let's say I give each aileron a half turn in the appropriate direction and that turns out to be too much - it now rolls to the right slightly.
If the left aileron is down a little, then I'll raise it a half turn. If it's ok, but the right aileron is up a little, then I'll lower the right aileron a half turn. If they both look ok, then eenie, meenie, minee, mo.
