Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF

2 Aileron servos, futaba 9202 servo's(6 volt pack), and no, there isn't a shred of stock hardware on the thing. Wait I lied, the control horns themselves(cut off and hardened so they are stiff as a rock) are on there for the aileron interlinks, but the control horns for the ailerons and what not are dubro HD stuff). I also used ball links and stiffer rod for the connections.

I'm confused as to what you mean by equalizing? I set mine up like this, I set up the bottom wing ailerons to match side to side and up to down perfectly. I used my angle pro to match them to within a 10th of a degree, and the neutral is the exact same also.

I then attached the upper ailerons, and matched them to the bottom. The left one set up perfect, I struggled a little with control horn placement to match the right side, it was throwing a tenth of a degree more up then down originally, moved it around and got it matched up nicely now.

The only reason this sparked an interest from me, is if I can change something to make the ailerons more efficient, I would really like to know what that is . I spend a lot of time trying to make my planes the best they can be, and would like to know what the setup secret is to make your ailerons twice as effective .

Couldn't it just be I had less throw in my ailerons which required a higher percentage to mix out the coupling? I use a 7C, and am not sure if its mix percentage is off of total throw or just what d/r you are on....... something to think about at least.
