Differential question

I have an old Sig Cub I relax with sometimes. It has almost no down aileron
to about 15deg. up.
Best for you to start about equal, then crank out down as test flights
dictate...croz

Hey,

This doesn't exactly fit as a pattern question, but... I am doing a little
kit bashing. My dad gave me a little .25 sized trainer and I am recovering
it and making new ailerons, elevators and a rudder to turn it into a fun-fly
type plane. The airplane has a fair amount of dihedral (about 4 inches when
one half of the wing is flat). I know it will never roll like a pattern
plane, but what kind of differential do I need to give it so that the rolls
will somewhat straight? Do I need more up or down and about what ratio? Just
looking for some ideas.

Thanks, Emory Schroeter.
