Aileron range of movement

The plans show degrees of movement for the rudder and elevator. As I was checking the ailerons for initial control rod fitting, I couldn't find reference to how many degrees of up and down aileron there should be so that I'm sure I'm within limits. Have a missed this reference in the plans?

If you are building a legacy Sonex, see page SNX-C01 for a chart of all control surface deflections.
Ailerons:
UP = 20.5
Down = 11.5

Thanks for the info. Yes, I'm building a Sonex purchased in 2009.
