Left wing heavy

[mshuler]

Just purchased N181JC, 7A. In level flight she rolls to the left. Adjusted the left flap but didn't help. Any suggestions or ideas?

If you are sure

that it is truly heavy. Then slowly close the radius on the opposite wing aileron trailing edge. Just a little at time and go fly and check it.

Just remember, in a side by side aircraft, solo, equal fuel in both tanks, you will have a "heavy" left wing. Load your right seat with ballast equal to your own weight to determine if it is a heavy wing or just well balanced.

I fly left wing heavy most of the time. I burn off 3/4 or so of the left tank first before I switch tanks.
