When attaching the ailerons to the wing, the manual calls for 25-deg up
and 22-deg down (for a final travel of 23.5-deg up and 20-deg down).

I don't have any problem with the 22-deg down, in fact, mine goes down
as far as 35-deg. But the up-swing is only about 20-deg. This is after
drilling holes for the anchor nuts to enter the leading edge of the
aileron. 

I am not sure how to get another 5-degrees. The manual does not address
this issue. Is there something I am missing??

Andrew,

I think shortening or lengthening the rod going through the wing will change
the setting. However, be aware that the mechanical stop that the bell crank
hits,(not the counter weight)is the limit for the opposite aileron. It was
an exercise in patience for me to say the least.
