Raising the left wing can be accomplished by lowering (bending down) the tab
on the right wing.

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.
