Squeeze Heavy Wing or Light Wing?

[Jetj01]

QUICK QUESTION: Hoping for quick answer....

RV Experts: Do you squeeze the trailing edge of the aileron on an RV on the heavy wing side or the light wing side to fix the slight 'heavy wing' problem...we can't remember???

Thanks in advance!

Squeeze the light wing or fatten the heavy wing.
The way I remember it is, a thicker airfoil provides more lift. (Maybe not technically true, but...)
You can fatten a trailing edge using a 2x4 and a hammer. Lay the board against the trailing edge and whack it along the length.
It doesn't take very much whether you do it one way or the other.

Squeezing the trailing edge makes the aileron "fly up" thereby pulling that wing down. Squeeze the aileron on the light wing.
