OK, I understand why they will deflect by different
amounts. What I don't understand is what significant
effect this will have on flight performance. Sure,
this will cause some asymmetry in lift during a roll,
but there are already many factors that are asymmetric
during a roll (such as drag, which causes adverse
yaw), so my guess is that a small asymmetry in the
aileron deflection will have very minimal effect on
flight performance. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Having said that, because I am anal about perfection,
I decided to fix the problem. I ground out the fiber
glass over the A2 plate, used a heat gun to remove the
plate and floxed it in again in the correct position.
