Default my rascal is one

Hello! I have had a rascal for some time now... flown maybe 10 times or so.... after my frist flight, I got the plane down and noticed that after trimming, i had a lot of.... right alr.

my buddies at the filed helped me out, we did a lat. balance and it seemed a tad heavy on the left side (not sure why?) so i balanced it out with maybe an oz of led on the wing tip. so, now it is balanced on the ground, so up it goes... lots of alr. trim. get back down, and it looks the same! lots of right alr.

so, now i am thinking maybe the wing is warped? but looking at it, it looks fine. any other ideas? how would i check for sure if the wing is, indeed, warped? thanks!

Jim. mine is the same way, it seems to fly just fine so I left it alone.
