I just affixed a few inches white rubber profile off a roll for tightening 
windows
to the underside of the aileron. Invisible from above, sticks to the aileron
by itself, can be cut until you are happy, and easily modified/removed. Worked
well all flying season 135 hours .

an aluminium trim tab to aileron/rudder, and tweaked them about until it tracked
true hands-off. Can this be done on the Europa?
