I just read a couple things about adverse yaw and reducing it by designing the ailerons to be differential, but it was not suggested by how much. For example, with a 10 degree up-aileron on the right should the left be down by 5 degrees, or how much difference should there be? The plane in question for me is an ultralight that has coupled ailerons and rudder on the plans, and I wish to use separate controls, for typical stick and pedal flight. I'm expecting there are a lot of variables for which I haven't included the information on to the answer completely, but are there any guidelines to start from?

Thanks....in advance.
