Throught the testing phase of rv8a N33nc we incurred a heavy left wing and i read as much as i could in the forums. We checked trailing edge alignment of ailerons & flaps all to no real solution until one day i looked @ the trailing edge profile of both ailerons. They were not the same the left heavy wing was as it should be looked like a triangle with a projection of top and bottom skins formong a clean intersection of the top and bottom skins, the right starboard wing aileron trailing edge however did not have the same shape. The top and bottom skins intersected below the projected (rearward) bottom skin adding curveture to the wing hense more lift lighter wing. Solution I took a hand vice and took out the extra curve along about half the aileron trailing edge ( i made them look the same). Next flight no heavy left wing so by sqeesing the trailing edge it means get any additional curve out of the aileron.I hope this helps some of you out there. Cyril
