Rick,
The best method is to take two pieces of 1" x 2" softwood, about 36"
long, and put one under the aileron flange and the other above it.
Clamp the wood tightly to the flange with about 5 clamps, spaced about
7" apart. Bend that area of the flange down VERY SLIGHTLY. Move to the
next area and repeat until you have the entire flange slightly bent.
You will be amazed that a TINY bend, only 1/32" or so will do wonders.
No one will be able to see the difference.

Wayne,
I had a friend tell me that also. He had five coupes at the time, and
is currently rebuilding another. However, just HOW do you bend that
down without looking like a cob-job, or worse - crimping an inner
support? I got out some pliers to do that and shied away at the
thought of dinging my plane.

To correct the right wing heavy problem, it is recommended that
the trailing edge of the left aileron be bent down over it's
entire length beginning at the wing tip back towards the wing fillet.

Three questions:
I have a freshly overhauled engine. I have noticed that
cylinders 1 and 2 are running at around 360 degrees and
cylinders 3 and 4 are around 260. Is this normal? is this a
problem?
In level flight, with just me aboard, the plane flys hands-off
straight and level. With two aboard, it drops the right wing
slightly and turns right. Has anyone else had this issue and
how is it adjusted?
