Can't be. :)
If one end has offset and the other end doesn't the ball to ball distances change. Try it as small servo motions? Because with the offset, one ball moves more horizontally and the other more vertically with servo rotation.
I will have to play with this and take pictures. :)

I will have to agree to set the proper geometry, you need to have offsets the same on servo and the arm, I don't think you really get binding, but more of interactions in flight. if you are using off sets in your Aileron arms you must use the same offset in your servo arms etc... fly it both ways, it is not the same! but yes if you are a begginer you may not notice, but it will indeed fly better and smoother if the offsets are correct and matching.
It really isn't worth screwing with, and takes only minutes to correct!

all I can say is when I set mine up with the correct off sets it does indeed fly better and smoother! I flew mine for about 1 or 2 months before I went ahead and put the offsets correct, and I noticed it does fly smoother more precise. More precise might be the better term. at some position on the sticks you will get interaction, it will come and go, I believe the movents of the servos can lag or just not follow correctly with the others and you might not be able to see it visually. I would highly recomend though just to do it!

I did a quick check last night. WIth one end straight and one end offset, and one link connected, the other ball to ball distance varies over 2mm from center to full travel.
