if Bud's fix doesn't cure it a gurny flap on one aileron will.
Congratulations Kevin. When you get to fly it yourself have a safety
pilot like Kim on board (tell him hi from me) and when you take off keep
the tail down as long as you can, and make sure its the first to touch
on the landing.
The other important criterion is that both outriggers touch together and
hold the airplane level on the ground. Also that neither collaoses which
can catch you out.
