Hello Rick,
My previous G-Reg Tri-Gear had the same issue and it was solved by taping a 
150mm
length of one of those plastic triangular section loose-leaf booklet spines
to the underside of an aileron.  Vary the length to change the effect.  Only
works perfectly at one speed of course but trim it for cruise and it should be
fine.  Perhaps not the best permanent solution but certainly good for finding
out.  Spanwise it was positioned close to, but not at, the innermost edge 
nearest
to the rose joint/pin - to reduce any torsional forces on the aileron.  Clive
