if the plane was damaged, you should check to make sure the plane is still square, measure from the same point on each wing, to a matching point on the tail, each side should measure the same, Look at the trailing edges of the ailerons and make sure they have not been bent to trim a previous issue. If everything measures out you can adjust the left aileron down 1/2 or 1 turn on the rod end and see how it does. Anytime you adjust a rod end, check the witness holes on the body of the rod end and make sure you cannot pass a piece of safety wire thru the holes. if you can, you need to adjust other ends until you cannot pass the wire thru.

Hi. 1960 Forney. Left wing is heavy even after aileron adjustments to counter it. Rudders appear to be straight with nose gear positioned straight.  Plane does have previous damage (possibly ground damage as according to logs, only several fuselage skins were replaced. Any ideas? Mike.
