Mine balances per plan. Right wing appears to be at slightly less incidence than left, hard to eyeball because of the curved bottom of wing. Flies with ailerons set even, no offset. I'm going to try giving it a little right rudder near top of loop, less elevator, etc. as suggested. Plane was designed heavy and has gained weight from repairs and is quite draggy. Takeoffs are sluggish, cruises nicely full throttle gives about 50mph, landings are fairly easy with power on sorta P51 style, slows down quickly with power cut. I'm sure a .60 would pull it through loops easily, may try that later or may hang from ceiling in retirement.
