Default Aileron off-set????

There has been mention, in the numerous threads on the H9 CAP 232 73", about adjusting the ailerons at a slight positive setting to induce wash-out and therefore give the airplane better low-speed manners.

Since I'm doing one of these, and it is my first "big" plane, I would like some clarification on this from someone who has done it on a like or similar model.

1. Does it work?

2. Is it worth the loss of aerobatic capability some claim that occurs?

3. Does it lessen the effectiveness (or have an adverse effect) of the ailerons at approach /landing speed?

4. How much off-set to put in should one decide to try it?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Steve
