FWIW, I bought an Avery trim wedge and taped it in place to find the sweet spot. Once found, I painted it and glued it in place. It solved the problem, and can be removed and/or relocated at any time if my needs change. Thus I have avoided the risks associated with the pinching and other permanent techniques.

I flew this afternoon after slightly adjusting the skins on the heavy wing and the results were about a 75% improvement!! More tweaking is needed but I'm on the right path. I'll also look at the other wing and see if adjustment is needed there also.
Thanks for the recommendation you guys!

I had an uncurable heavy wing when I detcided to do this. I had installed a fixed trim tab, but it was out of trim again when i deployed flaps! This solved both problems and i love flying with it.
I'm based in Georgetown TX...Visitors welcome!
I was wondering if you tried working the heavy wing situation out by moving the rod end bearings that the flaperons pivot on? I have built two with heavy wings and tamed them both with a few turns in or out.
