Bending the tab down will push the aileron up, the right aileron up will
turn the airplane left. Thumbs up rule!

My Alon has the same problem, and it already has trim tabs
on each side. I remember a mechanic said I should bend
the tab only on one side but I don't remember the rule
as to which side and direction (up/down) to use, anybody
know what I'm referring to and remember the rule? And,
I understand one should bend the tab with a couple of
pieces of 2x4 so the entire tab gets bent evenly.

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
