My take on the topic of ailerons for the HZ Supercub:
If you are inclined to evolve your flying skills with ailerons and want to modify your 3 channel Cub then this mod is for you. This is the lightest, least obtrusive and easiest aileron upgrade design to implement.
This design uses flex pushrod tubes going from each aileron horn to a single servo mid-wing. The integrity of the wing isn't compromised with cutouts, the electronics aren't stressed and the add-on weight is at an absolute minimum.
In my opinion, if you go to the extent of a servo per aileron, carbon spar, flattened dihedral, clipped wing, etc etc, you will kill what is great about the plane itself- slow, scale-like flight, simplicity and elegance in an RTF design.
