Hi! Irrespective of loading it is IMHO that you should start from a point of
both ailerons being matched slightly up of dead neutral on the ground, which
you should be able to adjust with all the various points to do just that.
Then fly and fine tune it from there. Best of luck with the Jabiru but watch
out for cyl head distortion, because unless you have calibrated all the
instruments the engine temps can't be believed. That engine will soon tell
you what temperatures it is suffering without any gauges ! Been there got
the "T" shirt.

Subject: Europa-List: heavy left wing
I have finally figured out my overheating problem with the Jabiru engine.
Mostly it is the MGL EMS unit telling me that the engine is 36 C hotter than
it really is.
I have now been able to fly for longer times and distance and one of the
first things that got my attention is the heavy left wing. The aileron tip
is down about 1 to 1 1/2 inches is straight and level flight. The right is
up about 1/4 to 1/2" . I had been thinking since I weight in at 250 pounds
that was the cause, but today I added 150 pounds to the PAX seat, Sand
Bags!. It helped, but not my much.
Bud had sent a picture of adding a pencil to the bottom of the aileron.
This bought the aileron up, but the turning increased.
I'm thinking that I don't have enough lift on this wing or too much on the
right wing.
I remember reading a couple of months ago about making the flap stay down by
placing a block on the up side of the slot.
Is this really a good way to add lift to this wing?
Or is there a better way? I remember when I set the Angle of Incidence and
even took pictures of both sides.
What do I do now?
