    This diagram shows how the different clocked angles of 32 degrees on the right and and 26 degrees on the left flaperon control horns results in equal flaperon movement. I penciled in the lines and wrote the degrees (29) on the diagram in my manual to satisfy myself that it actually works to give each side an equal clocked angle of 29 degrees. It has to do with the fact that the flaperon horn pivot points on the mixer are located 3 degrees behind the control rod pivot points on the flaperon horns when the fuselage is level.
