Ok,
I have another stupid question...
What would the neutral position be for the twist ailerons ?
Do I want the aileron to be parallel to the fuse.. or should the aileron follow the wing contour
to be in neutral position ?

Take a ruler or straight edge and go from the center of the leading edge to the middle of the trailing edge with the aileron parallel to that line.

I have several flights on the twist now. It flies great !
You were right, the offset problem with the uneven elevator didn't cause a problem.
I also took your advice and turned down the the low rate throws even lower than the manual suggests.
It has been windy here lately, so I have not done any flying with high rates... I think it will be a handful.
I am also using the Evo .46 NT engine, because I already had one lying around. I'm not yet sure how well it is going to
work out. I may end up getting an O.S. .46 AX for it.
Thanks again for the advice !

Chad,
I didn't fly at all this weekend, too cold and windy. I plan on coming by Intergraph soon on a Sunday evening when we get some
good weather. Shoot me a PM when you know in advance you are going to be flying.
