After 3 full turns of down left flap, this is where I am: Left seat:
Right seat:
I'll see what it does with 2 people soon....

Looks good. How aggressive was the original left tendency? Mine is fairly significant...

I didn't take any video, but it was uncomfortable to hold for a long time. I'd either use both hands, or trade off hands. In the pattern or maneuvering it seemed fine, but extended straight and level wasn't great.
I think I overdid it. Turns faster right hands off than left. I played both videos at once.

I started with a right role tendency - adjusted left flap up to correct.
Flaps at Left 0.9 degrees Right 0.4 degrees (relative to trailing edge of each wing skin, using digital level)
Now have to use right rudder and left stick to get ball centred.
Yet to test but have adjusted right flap down 1/2 turn Right flap now 0.1 degrees.
Also - with no baggage have run out of aft (elevator up) trim ie at cruise (130 + knots) pilot must hold continual back pressure to prevent nose drop. Have tried adjusting trim spring positions with limited benefit. Just about to go out and see if I can find a heavier (front, pilot adjustable) spring.
