Europa-List: Aileron deflections

I am currently rigging my glider wings=2C hopefully for the last time. 

In the workshop I measured the aileron down deflection to be 20 degrees =2C
 it is supposed to be 20 down and 23 1/2 up.  Now I measure a maximum of 18
 and 16 for down=2C and about 30 up.

My question is : is it really important to stick to the figures in the book
=2C or is it the sumtotal of up plus down when making a turn. These dreaded
 lead weights are the reason for the down restriction and I would prefer no
t having to shave them down.

Any ideas ?


Karl
