REFLECTOR: Aileron Rigging

I am concerned that if I need to change the angle from 110 to 90, then I
need to drill another set of holes in the tubes- I am sure that they are
plenty strong and all, just didn't want to have to do that

I had the same problem worked on it for what seemed like forever. My problem

was the push pull cable angle.
It has to be 90 degrees to the arm.   The manual gave some angle of 110 I 
think that did not work for me  at all.
Once I got it to 90 both up and down were equal. Worked for me   good luck
