Hey Group:

  

 I have been fighting with trimming out the unwanted roll to the right of an RV-6A.  Things I have done:

 1 - Installed the center mounted manual trim.  That worked for a while but seems the springs or hook up wire has stretched and the plane is back to doing rolls.

 2 - I found the flaps to be out of trim when in the FULL UP position.  By giving them the slightest blip of down the roll rate decreases about 75%.  I also do not notice any change in IAS.

 I found the flap problem when taking measurements while the plane was bubble level on the ground.  One flap pulls UP just a bit more than the other.

  

 So, I am now thinking about trim tabs on the ailerons.  I heard about using a seam tool to squeeze the trailing edge.  But, other than hearing about it I have not read about it.  Also, this seems like a permanent action, no means to correct if over done.

 I would appreciate to hear about your experience and cures.

  

 Thank you,

 Barry
