If you had a ball link on the phenolic side of the linkage that was your problem, those arms will not tolerate any type of twisting, especially if you only had the one arm for the entire aileron.

The ailerons are very stiff, there are quite a few people running a single aileron servo per aileron.

Are you sure the guy was a rep from comp-arf? In the instructions included with that plane they state several times with emphasis NOT to use a ball link on the phenolic side. It would surprise me if you got one from a comp-arf rep and I would say he owes you a plane if you bought it that way from him and he didn't warn you.
