Default aileron linkage more up than down help

On a low wing plane with typical strip aileron torque rod actuation, (servo on the top of the wing) moving the servo arm attach points towards the rear (behind the servo output shaft) will cause more up than down aileron movement. The opposite is true of high wing planes with the servo mounted on the bottom of the wing.

You don't want differential aileron throw on a symmetrical wing pattern type plane because you would have reverse differential effects when inverted.
