I picked up a Coupe in Houston a couple of
years ago. I also flew home with it wanting to roll left, holding right
aileron for the hours back to Tennessee. On the ground when
home, all rigging and alignment looked correct. Realizing the majority
here will recommend following the coupe procedure of bending the trailing edge
of the aileron as a trim method, I prefered a small trim tab being installed
instead. I just don't like bending the wing structure. Also, any
future minor adjustments can be easily made with a trim tab. A small tab
slipped in and rivited between the wing trailing edge corrected the problem
and it flew beautifully hands off after that. roger
