REFLECTOR: STD trim

[Scott Derrick]

I understand the sequence to be: trim the rudder to fly ball centered. 
THis will many times correct the heavy wing.

Next if you still have a heavy wing, shim using a large thin washer 
between the wing and strake. If possible shim the light wing first by 
removing AOA, if thats not enough, then shim the heavy wing by adding AOA.

> Ok flying level half ball left ailerons are faired both rudders have air loads on them.
> I center the ball with left rudder and the rudder looks deflected about a quarter inch , right aileron is up a quarter inch, left aileron is down a quarter inch.
> Should I just shim left rudder out and re rig the ailerons to fix the roll or should I shim the right wing.
> If I shim the wing I assume I would shim the lower bolt but what should I use as a shim?
