I got laser cut templates and accurately marked the neutral point and deflection limits. Worked great.

Roger on the 20 which is even better because you have the end of the aileron as a reference and the flap/fuselage fairing as another reference point. I have found adjustments that were made to stop a turning tendency by cranking one aileron up or down to stop the turn, but that doesn’t work! Both ailerons will equal out the new setting by flying up (or down) a tad and the turn remains. The only way to stop a turn is by installing a small trim tap, bent up or down in the direction indicated.

Or with eccentric wing carry through pins, as a few ASW 19s required back in the late 1970s. They altered one wing's angle of incidence. Or maybe both.. They apparently brought the two wings more into alignment. I've never understood how the main spar pins still went in. I suppose the adjustment was very small and one wing was very slightly twisted. Anyone recall this?
