RV-10 C-FXCS took to the air on Thurs Apr 5 with Colin Jordan at the controls. He flew for one hour high power for break-in. The aircraft has a heavy left wing, an oil leak on the pilot side, and I managed to reverse the action on the aileron trim and the altitude hold. Colin said when he landed that this was as close to taking off in a jet as you can get without being in a jet. He was VERY impressed with the aircraft.
I delayed leaving on a weeks holidays so we could get the first flight in, so I haven't addressed any of the issues as yet.
Question. What is the procedure to correct a heavy wing in an RV-10?

Sit in the other seat???? The heavy left wing may be due to a heavy .... nah, I won't go there. Seriously, I'd worry about the heavy left wing after you fly with both front seats filled ..... preferably with pilots close in weight.

Aileron trim, I’d say. Make sure your flaps and ailerons are rigged evenly, because that can make it want to roll one way or the other, but burning fuel out of the left first would lighten that side. I doubt there is much more weight there, just having you sit on that side alone makes a little difference. Again, aileron trim and rudder trim will make the thing fly like it needs to no matter how you are loaded, for the most part.

I helped a local builder install the wings and ailerons this weekend and we noticed that the aileron deflected up about 2-3 time more than it did down on both sides. We didn't check the rigging yet but I wonder if that is normal or if there should be equal deflection in both directions.
Thanks!

Most airplanes have this feature designed in to reduce adverse yaw. Perfectly normal. Check your manual for what the actual deflections should be.

It is called differential aileron throw. The idea is that a down aileron
creates a lot more drag than the up aileron. Basically it limits the adverse
effect of the down aileron causing a yaw problem.
less down more up.

Ailerons are rigged as differential. In order to offset adverse yaw, the aileron traveling up moves more than the aileron traveling down. (Downward aileron increases wing camber / lift causing more drag.)
No it's normal for the aileron to move up more than down. It's by design.
