I might suggest you check all alignment and get it as close as you can before any further pinching happens. Is your aileron trim disconnected?

You're right, that is significant. I've thought of adding a child's seat out on the left wing for my 10 year old daughter but she is just going to keep growing so that wouldn't be a permanent fix.
The aileron trim is connected and it is servo-operated. With equal fuel in both tanks and the trim all the way to the left the plane flies pretty level.
