To minimize adverse yaw from the down aileron causing more drag than the up aileron, I installed the aileron bell cranks so that they travel much farther forward than the "neutral" 90 degrees. I feel this is caused a problem at the keel (Thanks Dave Black for figuring this out) since the push-pull cables do not attach at 90 degrees - this exacerbates the problem - causing the down aileron to travel farther than the up aileron. See next picture and description for more info.
