I was advised (by Graham Singleton I think) that before adding tabs etc to
resolve roll trim issues you should look closely at the flap settings in the
up position.
slight asymmetry in the flap settings could easily cause uncommanded roll .
To show my own level of ignorance what is a Gurney flap ? if fancy I should
know but!!

I would like to try using a Gurney Flap rather than a conventional trim tab
to take out about one pound of stick force on the ailerons. Does anyone
have suggestions on the size of such a device as a starter and position
along
the trailing edge spanwise?
