Default RE: Aileron control throw question

The wingtip style ailerons are more effective than strip ailerons, with a longer moment arm around the longitudinal axis, letting them create more rolling moment for any deflection.
More may not be better.
I changed the strip ailerons on my DynaFlite 60" P-51 to scale area outer panel style.
These increased the roll rate, so I can use less deflection for the same response.
