Group:
I am continuing to hunt down the cause of a heavy left wing. I am going through the processes as outlined by Van's, and have yet to test fly after repositioning my left aileron which was mounted so that its inboard edge was set lower than the outboard. Now both ailerons are mounted exactly the same.
After checking things over, I have noticed that I have an underchamber in my right aileron. The undercamber is located in the area on the bottom of the aileron where the skin wraps around the leading edge and extends about 4 inches or so aft to where it is riveted to the aileron spar. If I lay a straightedge on this portion of the bottom of the aileron, I see about 1/8th of an inch of space at the apex of the undercamber. Aft of the rivet line where the skin overlaps and is riveted to the aileron spar, the skin is perfectly flat. This making sense how I am describing it??!
Is it possible that this amount of undercamber in my right aileron is creating a slight amount of lift enough to make me roll to the left?
Thanks for any input/advice.
Regards,
