Hi Ray. The forward offset pushrod holes in the servo wheel are to counter the differential introduced by the forward offset clevis pin mounting location in the torque rod arms. As best as I can reckon, this eliminates the differential.

Because he's smart. LOL
Ok wise guy, why don't YOU run differential. Don't run out to your shop and set one up so you can take a pic and play smart. I notice these things like a pet peve. I used to run differential but opposite of the way he's doing it because it was tought that the aileron downward motion was more efficient than the upward travel. Or, you wanted it moving more up than down. Well I can tell you it don't make no difference when you are rolling from 45 to 90°.
To your point about being able to notice differential or not; probably I would not notice a difference whether any of my planes have correct aileron differential, incorrect aileron differential or no aileron differential. So the reason I set up this Quik-V6 with differential is because another guy (who's experience and opinions I trust) recommended it.
Was doing the ball links for a while. It just seemed unnecessary plus the uneasy feeling of a link possibly falling off "which they have on the wing and stab of planes who use them". Going through inspection you fail if no tube to hold the clevis closed but ball links are ok? I get it with aerobatics to ensure the plane rolls on the correct axis i.e the spinner. Take a low wing model, a high wing model and a mid/center wing model where a rolling manuver is part of the judging then by all means correct it for the low and high wing models. You would be hard pressed in 60 seconds to see any difference at all in pylon.

You obviously have never looked very close at any of my airplanes, as they ALL have a slight amount of differential.
It may not make much difference rolling from 45-90...but if you have to roll more than that, it does! And the fact is, nobody flies perfectly. What determines the fastest guys from many of the rest is how well they recover from errors. A properly set up airplane makes it easier to recover quickly, so you lose less time.

Got my 2nd Quik-V6 (V7?) with built-up wood wing going. It's the Manzano laser-cut fuse/tail with my wing. The first wing has torque rods. This one will have dual servos outboard.
