[QUOTE=Grant85;1092078]Thanks for the tips mate! I'm not fully sure that I understand what you mean by differential throw though. If you wouldn't mind, please could you explain further? Sorry for all the questions mate :) [/quote]
Basically when you turn the aileron that goes down creates more lift but also drag so that when turning to the right the nose of the aeroplane will point slightly left throughout the turn so it sort of skids round if you don't put in some rudder whilst turning. Differential is where you mix in 30 - 40% less down movement so this drag isn't created and the turn is smoother. In the TX's we use it's easy to set the differential with the flapperon wing type arrangement (1 servo in each wing) Do a google for aileron differential and there will be plenty of articles on this...!
[quote]And I'm going to remove the wing servos and hot glue them back in tomorrow. And do as you said with getting the servo arms centred properly. I like to do things the proper way to be honest so as you say it's best to do this :)

One of the ways it used to be done mechanically (without using bellcranks and the suchlike) was to set the horn pointing towards the front of the wing when the servo was at the neutral point thus allowing more movement up than down. Best to do it in the TX now though :)
