Servo stuff

Putting the final touches on my Dollar Tree foam delta wing.

A bit confused about the servo horn placement. One goes on perfectly perpendicular, the other is cocked at a slight angle. Should I adjust with the subtrim? Or should I just glue it down in the right place as is and later use the subtrim for other adjustments? The other adjustment would be to get the elevons tipping up just a hair exactly the same (or to compensate for any motor torque). Wings need the slight up tilt.
 
I have no experience with planes but tons with cars and trucks. In my experience I don't think I've ever had a servo horn that's lined up perfectly. Just get it as close as you can , then make final adjustment with the subtrim. Of course, you may have to also make some minor adjustment to your endpoints too.

Yeah hahaha. They never line up on planes. Adjust the rod, horn, and physical placement to be reasonable and you can trim it in place.
