Cleaveland Tool now sells the ones Avery used to sell, or so I believe.Where can I find info on building or obtaining a wedge for an aileron to correct a slightly heavy left wing?
Wait, I thought we were suppose to squeeze the aileron trailing edge to correct a heavy wing?
Hello,
has someone a Picture as i can see how does it look on the Plane (Aileron)??
I had also a (light) left heavy Wing..... maybe i can fix it with Flap on the Right side..

For the RV-9 it may be just enough depending on how wing heavy you are. Compared to the shorter wing RV's with their relatively short flaps, I think the big -9 flaps (almost 8 feet long) do have a greater effect. You might compare the average angle of incidence for both flaps. (By average I mean measured at every couple of ribs and then averaged to address any twist in the flap). Then, if you have room to pull one or the other of the flaps up a bit higher by turning one or two more revolutions on the rod-end bearing, you may find that it addresses your issue. It did help for me.Adjusting the flaps works but not well. The flaps are too far inboard to be very effective.

I'm surprised that no one has suggested aileron trim, manual or electric. I use mine (manual) all the time in my RV-6 as fuel burns off. Wouldn't be without it.
