I think what Andrew's saying is not that the pushrods won't allow him the
movement, but that the aileron is fouling on the wing when he tries to get
up deflection with the pushrods disconnected.
Andrew, it sounds to me like you need to check the following:
1) the positioning of your hinges - are they too close in?
2) your start point for zero degrees deflection - are you starting from a
few degrees out?
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Jeremy

Subject: Europa-List: Aileron deflection angle
When attaching the ailerons to the wing, the manual calls for 25-deg up and
22-deg down (for a final travel of 23.5-deg up and 20-deg down).
I don't have any problem with the 22-deg down, in fact, mine goes down as
far as 35-deg. But the up-swing is only about 20-deg. This is after drilling
holes for the anchor nuts to enter the leading edge of the aileron.
Andrew
you need to start by setting the aileron upward deflections by adjusting the
short pushrod at the aileron to give 24 degrees or so. Then adjust the long
wing pushrod to make the quick connect bellcrank on the wing vertical when
the aileron is neutral. Then continue with the rest of the adjustments.
