Default RE: Setting Ailerons

If the wing is symmetrical, there should be no difference in top or bottom curvature. But in any case, the ailerons should be considered as the completion of the wing chord; that is, they should be even with both the top and bottom of the wing (if the hinges are centered correctly). In general, when getting the alignment, I believe it's better to have a tiny bit of droop to the ailerons (for lift), than to have any up aileron since that position would act as a spoiler.
