If the distance from the bolt (and bearing) to the hinge pin is not the same
on both ailerons, they will deflect different amounts, even though they are
perfectly equal at neutral. Its one of those lever arm math kind of things
that a mechanical engineer could, unlike me, explain well. Imagine if the
two were way different and you'll probably see it.

Am I missing something here or am I seeing things too simple.
Onto that bolt goes a rod bearing, so angle won't be a problem. And that rod
bearing attached to a short drive arm that is also adjustable. You make both
ailerons that same using that adjustment. So what's the problem?
