Rigging

[heydugan]

I am looking at a RV-6A with 650 hours on the airframe. It flys with a heavy left wing, with appox. equal fuel in each tank, full right trim is needed to fly hands off. Can someone tell me what are the possible reasons, how to determine what it is, and according remedies? And if I'm at the wrong place to ask, please tell me where to go, so to speak...

And after you read the "Wing Heavy Analysis"; the aileron squeezing on my 6A's wing had marvelous results. I had a heavy right wing, and squeezed the left aileron. I noticed that the left aileron had a larger radius than the right wing did.
