REFLECTOR: WING INCIDENCE [heur]

[Tom Martino]

Equal weight in the front seats -- still a slight turn to the right.  I
will do more testing to see the actual aileron deflection.  Perhaps a
trim tab would do it.

Is this with or without passenger?  How does it behave in each 
circumstance?  I think the threshold of wing shimming is something on 
like 1/4" of aileron deflection required to maintain level flight.
Just a theory ... Jim S.
