Heavy LH wing

So many work to find out what is happening, it is very heavy indeed specially at high speeds, on final to land hands free, weird!!!!!!
 
Check Van's website. They have a list of things to check for a heavy wing. A list in order of things to do before you squeeze the trailing edge. I have not done this so I am no help.
 
Search for a thread on this site that discusses using a coffee-stirring straw taped to the trailing edge bottom of the right aileron to correct for a heavy left wing. I tried it to correct what sounds very much like your situation in my RV-8, and it worked perfectly the first try.
