Look on Van's website for correcting heavy wing for complete instructions. I have found this on 3 RV7s all quickbuilds manufactured in 2005-2006. Don

+1....I had a heavy left wing(actually miine was unstable in roll) and used Don's advice to check the aileron hinge position. My aileron was sitting ~1/8" above the wing skin at the outboard edge. So I dropped the hinge and TaDa! fixed. My roll was still sensitive above 200mph, so I gently squeezed both ailerons.....when I say gently I mean I could not even tell I did anything. And it helped stabilize things.
