My suggestion..... don't fly till you figure something out....
I cant think of anything in the control of my mkIII that could cause that
problem... I would look for a positional interference fit between the
elevator and aileron control systems... maybe try forcing the aileron
torque tube fore and aft while moving the stick.... could there be
something cracked,,,, or something with some galling,,, or dirt/sand in a
joint or bearing surface?

Does it exhibit the same problem power off (idle)? Do you have smooth &
effortless equal and full aileron deflection on the ground? Is this a new
development?
My Firefly with Rotax 503 has a lot of torque. In moderate to high cruise
it did the same thing (would barely turn right. Adjusting the flaperon
trim tab and riging some helped (left down; right up). If I power back to
45mph cruise, the problem disappears.

it unloads the problem and allows the stick to move to the right.
