I have a Focus with a small amount of right trim necessary to maintain level flight, resulting in a slight deflection of the ailerons. Is it better to use the wing adjusters to trim the plane and bring the ailerons back to neutral, or leave them slightly deflected?
Thanks

poorbs,
Lee will probably reply with a definitive answer, but it is my opinion that you should adjust the wing incidence to bring the ailerons to center trim.
To do this you should rotate the wings in equal amounts in opposite directions. To remove right trim move the right leading edge down and the left leading edge up.

Keith, thanks for reply. I hope Lee does chime in on this one - he'd know more about this airplane than most. I'd like to get several opinions though - I think there may be some pros and cons.
I contacted Gator about the Typhoon, and I expect to hear back on Monday. If not, it'll be a while - I have to go to a wedding next week and I won't be back for a while.
A couple of more steps and I'll be ready to sheet the Entropy wings.
