So the area of the bolt that the rod end bearing will ride to drive the
aileron will be around 1mm different from one aileron compared to the other.
I really don't know if that is worth worrying about. Some math wiz type
person could calc it out?

Actually, the top end of the bolt (the end that sticks
out farthest from the aileron) has the correct
distances. The bottom end is not. The bottom end is
about 1.2mm displaced from the top end due to the
tilt.
