Haste makes
Haste makes piles of shattered balsa.
I had the same aileron problem you had, fortunately it was at the end of my season after 30 or 40 flights solo. I got up, made my first left hand turn and was going to do some figure 8s. The plane kept banking to the left, when I ran out of trim clicks I got pretty nervous.
Fortunately, I got enough trim in to keep it mostly level and I did slow spirals at the end of the runway until I could land it. Pretty nerve wracking.
Another thing that happened to me was my fuel line clunk (inside the tank) wedged forward after a hard landing. The plane ran fine on the ground, UNLESS you held it up vertically, and then it would fuel starve. Of course, I didn't hold it up to check it and it fuel starved as soon as I tried to climb out. That was my first (and second) successful dead stick landings.
Gotta love it!
