Hi Kyle.
Read your link.
Adjust the flap which is up too far with the set screw in the baggage 
bay (Custom Flight Mod) or by adding a shim to the back of the baggage 
bay and the flap tube through the hole in the side of the aircraft with 
thin wedges to shim the flaps 1/32nd of an inch to correct roll. Right 
flap down rolls right. Go fly. When roll is cured you may need to 
adjust the aileron to match. But wait, most likely, then it needs the 
flap to be trimmed again for less deflection due to the aileron 
trimming, or because you made the airplane with very little friction in 
your roll system, you may see both ailerons now evenly up or down as 
appropriate. Go fly again. Test trim, then re-do stall series. 

I have just purchased the Aircraft, have not had the wings off yet, so as your
might expect, a Bungee or Fixed tab is easiest for me.
Can you or any one, explain in more detail about the Flap 1/32 shim, pretty thin
shim, i am willing to try if i knew how to do it,
I need the aeroplane to Roll more to the Right
.
"thin wedges to shim the flaps 1/32nd of an inch to correct roll. Right 
flap down rolls right" also Don,t understand this bit about roll right,

Alan
