Hi Ken If the left wing is trying to raise on you then you will have to reverse the trim you used. You said you bent the pilots side trim tab up. This pushes the rear edge of the aileron down the same as adding right pressure on the wheel. A good rule of thumb on tabs that are attached to the ailerons is to bend the tab the same way you want the wing to go. If you want the left wing down, bend the left tab down. This causes the left aileron to raise and pull down on the left wing. Same for the right wing, If you want it to come up, bend the tab up.
Hope this helps!
