This never occured to me before, but this could be another plus for the new airfoil (not that flutter has been a problem with the old airfoil). The cusp on the bottom of the aileron loads them both upward them during flight, which unfortunately makes the control a little heavier though (although some might consider that a plus). When the stick is neutral sitting on the ground, my ailerons have to be rigged downward with respect to the wing's trailing edge by about 3/16", but in flight they line up nicely...
