I finally have the plane flying hands off - it WAS the differential flap trail causing the roll - flying hands off now. Took 4 test flight /adjustments to dial it in. Still cruising with ball showing slight Left slip in cruise flight.
Question: If I jack the aircraft level with the ball centered, and prove the floor / instrument panel is "level" by measurement to begin. Because the ailerons are linked to the rudder via springs, if I bias the rudder to apply Left rudder pressure with the rudder heim joint, should that "fix" my caddywumpus cruise flight? Or will it just make my rudder pedals not line up?
Thanks, Richard

Like all the other controls, you center them by trimming them. if the rudder is off in cruise, you need to trim it by bending the trailing edge. Before you do that, make sure your bubble is leveled. Level the plane by putting a level on the seat rails and using diferential tire pressure (or jacks) to get it level. Then adjust the instrument for centered ball. The turn coordinator usually has slots for mounting holes.
